Arms: Azure, an eagle displayed with two heads argent, holding in the dexter paw a
sceptre and in the sinister a rose proper within a bordure of the second,
charged with cinquefoils and mullets alternately of the field.

Interpretation: The arms or shield is blue (azure) and on this is an eagle with two
heads and wings wide apart (displayed) and silver (argent) in its right (dexter) paw is a
sceptre and in the left (sinister) is a rose and these items are to be in natural or prop¬
er tinctures and they are within a bordure of the second tincture mentioned (silver) and
on this silver is a charge of cinquefoils and stars (mullets) arranged alternately and
they are to be of the tincture of the main part of the shield— the field. This is blue.
(Authority; Burke’s, “General Armory” London.)

The eagle is the king of all heraldic fowl with a long symbolic ancestory of warfare
and divine power. The double head is a symbol of power over the east and the west. Of
course the sceptre represents ruling authority and the rose is for peace.

A border was granted on which are five-leaved flowers (cinquefoils) and mullets
(stars). Such items of design were frequent as indicating differencing (between families
such as sons of the head family).

When warranted tinctures were granted to the first one to receive the coat of arms
according to the man’s characteristics. For instance, silver represented sincerity
and peace; blue was for loyalty and truth.

The official record does not show a crest registered for this family. The very oldest
heraldic designs did not have such registered. To the arms the knightly helmet and
mantle or robe has been added. These are arranged like they were frequently seen in
Days-Of-Old, when our knightly ancestor would hang his shield on a wall peg, then his
helmet on the same peg over the shield and lastly he draped his battle torn cloak over
the helmet with the ends falling down around the helmet.

Our heraldic ancestors were very proud of their coats of arms for they were a mark

of social distinction. Without such an honor a man, “Was no gentleman” and of course

his wife was no lady as families were rated in those days. So, frame this coat of arms

well and hang it proudly as a document of family history.

HERE’S TO THE YEAR THAT’S AWA’
by John Dunlop (1750 - 1820)

1. Here’s to the year that’s awa’!

We’ll drink it in strong and in sma’;

And here’s to ilk bonnie young lassie we lo’ed,

While swift flew the year that’s awa’;

And here’s to ilk bonnie young lassie we lo’ed,

While swift flew the year that’s awa’.

2. Here’s to the sodger who bled,

And the sailor who bravely did fa’;

Their fame is alive, tho’ their spirits are fled
On the wings of the year that’s awa’;

Their fame is alive, tho’ their spirits are fled
On the wings of the year that’s awa’.

3. Here’s to the friends we can trust
When the storms of adversity blaw,

May they live in our song, and be nearest our hearts,
Nor depart like the year that’s awa’;

May they live in our song, and be nearest our hearts,
Nor depart like the year that’s awa’.

PROLOGUE

THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE OF DUNLAP would have not been so interesting to
write in its final form had not the author visited the scenes of origin of this ancient
and honourable family where they settled after having come from Scotland.

The writer and his father visited Goshen, Goshen Pass, the vicinity of Harrisonburg
Staunton, Lexington, the site of the Tinkling Springs Presbyterian Church, and
Cowpasture Creek, located in Augusta and Rockbridge Counties, Virginia, during the
summer of 1955. Here one is able to picture members of this clan working in the
fields, tending their flocks, and during chores of sundry types on their large and
spacious acreages. Too, flintlocks were always nearby to repel the advance of any
Indian tribe which would venture too close to these hardy Scotch immigrants, who had
come to Augusta County, Virginia, about 1730. These staunch Presbyterians came to
British- America to begin a new way of life and worship God according to the dictates
of their own conscience.

Captain Alexander Dunlop (later Dunlap) was born in Scotland (not North Ireland as
some genealogists claim) in 1716 the son of Alexander and Antonia Brown Dunlop of
Dunlop. Alexander Dunlop, Sr., had been a Scotch soldier in the Siege of Londonderry,
North Ireland in 1689; it was he who held the lands of Dunlop from 1670 until 1683,
when the English crown forced him to renounce all title. He was a Covenanter. Cap¬
tain Dunlop married Anne MacFarlane (1715-1786), a daughter of Caleb MacFarlane,
the last MacFarlane of MacFarlane, Loch Lomond, Scotland. They had four children.
Captain Dunlop died in Goshen 1744 at the early age of twenty- eight; his widow married
a few years later.

About 1783 another Dunlop (Dunlap) family came to Middlebrook, Virginia from
Campbellton, Scotland. It was headed by John and Nancy Colvin Dunlap who had nine
children. This family was very closely related to that of the above named. They were
Presbyterians who settled, first, 1775, in New York, later in Chambersburg,
Pennsylvania, and later, 1783, in Augusta County, Virginia, where their descendants
live today. The writer had the privilege of visiting Miss Henrietta Campbell Dunlap,
Miss Lulu Dunlap, Samuel Dunlap, James Dunlap, and William McCorkle, descendants

xv

of this lineage; in their veins flow not only the blood of the Dunlops of Dunlop but of the
Hannas of Castle Sorbie!

The topography of the beautiful valley of Virginia is much like that of the rolling
hills of Ayrshire and Wigtonshire where lived many many centuries ago our ancestor,
William Dunlop (cir. 1290). William Dunlop’s ancestors were Celtic people who in¬
habited the southwestern part of Scotland before the time of Christ. One source of
history states that this noble clan was descended from the kings of Scotia (now Ireland);
another source traces the descent from Adam and Eve! However ancient the race may
be we are certain that the mists rise when we probe into its glorious past; we trust
that the future may be even brighter. It is no wonder that the Dunlaps and other Scot¬
tish and Scotch-Irish immigrants chose Harrisonburg, Winchester, Staunton, Lexington,
and Goshen, to settle down and raise their families and graze their cattle and sheep,
for it reminded them of their beloved homeland even though, there, they were bitterly
persecuted by monarchs opposed to religious freedom. Here they remained for many
decades marrying into such prominent families as the: MacFarlanes, Erskines, Gays,
Alexanders, Grahams, Kerrs, Campbells, MacDonalds, Clarks, Hannas, Watsons,
Hamiltons, Bells, Cunninghams, Davises, MacKees, MacCulloughs, MacCutchans,
Camerons, Gatewoods, MacCorkles, and numerous other Scotch and Scotch-Irish
families. Here in this healthy section we find blended together Highlander and Low-
lander, all spiritual followers of Calvin and Knox.

There were other Dunlop families from Scotland who settled in New England, New
York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Some of the Dunlops of Garnkirk came directly to
Georgia and South Carolina, while some of the Virginia and Pennsylvania branches
moved southward and settled in North and South Carolina. Following the Revolutionary
War, in which a large number of Dunlaps participated, the first and second generation,
moved into Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois; Miss Olivia Gertrude of Jacksonville
represents the Illinois branch. They moved into Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi.
During the Westward movement the west received many Dunlaps. And in this volume
the reader will be surprised to learn of the many western branches all having roots in
Virginia, Pennsylvania, or some other eastern state. The South Carolina branch of our
family is represented today by Aunt Mary Dunlap Roddney of Rock Hill, S. C., Rev.
Joseph Witherspoon Dunlap, minister of the Presbyterian Church at Darlington, South
Carolina. He is descended from Alexander and Antonia Brown Dunlop through Samuel

xvi

Dunlap, Lay Elder, their son. We also find that many Dunlaps in Texas, Mississippi,
and Alabama, are too descended from Alexander and Antonia Brown Dunlop. They have
played a most conspicious part in the building of the South. Their sons and daughters
became soldiers, politicians, lawyers, farmers, merchants, clergymen, homemakers,
Librarians, School-teachers, and statesmen.

It is the explicit desire of the writer that this volume may stimulate descendants of
this ancient clan to realise fully their heritage and to appreciate moreso the “Land of
their Fathers” - Scotland and Ulster - in order that future descendants may rise up
and call them blessed. As St. Paul was zealous for the knowledge of his ancestors so
should we be concerned. Even the writers of the Holy Gospels were concerned with the
genealogies of Christ not to mention the long lists in the Old Testament. To have ab¬
solutely no past or background gives one little hope for a future.

As this volume goes into one hundred or more homes it goes with a prayer that our
fathers and mothers and their illustrious forebearers may be honoured for having
found this HOUSE OF DUNLAP.

J.A.M.H.

Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,

Who never to himself hath said,

This is my own, my native land!

Whose heart hath ne’er within him burn’d,

As home his footsteps he hath turn’d,

From wandering on a foreign strand!

If such there breathe, go, mark him well;

For him no minstrel raptures swell;

High though his titles, proud his name,

Boundless his wealth as wish can claim:

Despite those titles, power, and pelf,

Living, shall forfeit fair renown,

And, doubly dying, shall go down

To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,

Unwept, unhonour’d, and unsung.

O Caledonia! stern and wild,

Meet nurse for a poetic child!

Land of brown heath and shaggy wood,

Land of the mountain and the flood,

Land of my sires ! what mortal hand
Can e’er untie the filial band,

That knits me to thy rugged strand !

- Sir Walter Scott

INTRODUCTION

THE HISTORY OF THE PARISH OF ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY - DUNLOP

by

The Reverend John F. Bayne, M.A. (Hons.), B.D.,
a former minister of Dunlop.*

* Rev. John F. Bayne is now (1955) minister of the Bo’ness Presbyterian Church, Bo’ness, West

Lothian, Scotland. Most of his work on Dunlop Parish is incorporated in the Introduction with
an agreement between the author and himself.

A Note Concerning the Reverend John F. Bayne, M. A.

(Hons.), B.D. of Bo’ness, Scotland.

Rev. John F. Bayne is the author of Dunlop Parish: A History of Church, Parish,

INTRODUCTION

I. NAME. The Scottish family name, Dunlop or Dunlap, provides in two syllables
valuable evidence of the early history and origin of the Parish of Dunlop. The name
Dunlop is derived from two Gaelic words, “dun,” which means a “hill fort” or “strong
place,” and “luib,” which denotes a “bend.” The Gaelic “dun” is also found in Welsh
as “din,” in Gallic as “dunon,” and the Latinised form is “dunum,” and it is related to
the Anglo-Saxon suffix “don,” and the Anglo-Saxon word “tun,” from which our word
“town” came. Wherever the Gaelic form of “dun” is found as a prefix in a place name,
it is reasonable to suppose that the original settlers were the early Celts (or Kelts)
who gave the name which succeeding races never changed. The early Celt has left this
indisputable evidence of his wide diffusion over central Scotland in such names as:
Dumbarton, Dundee, Dunfermline, Dunbar, Dunipace, Dunkeld, and Dunlop. The chief¬
tains of this ancient race build their homes on hills, which provided a natural means of
defence. Near the Church of Dunlop there is such a hill. It stands at the confluence of
three small streams, the Templehouse Burn, the Black Burn, and the Glazert Water.
Near the point of junction the Galzert sweeps around the hill in a picturesque bend.

The name of the Celtic chieftain’s stronghold built on the hill was inevitable. He could
not have called it anything else. The fortified hill (Dun) by the bend of the stream
(Luib) - Dunlop.

IL ROMANS EN SCOTLAND. During the Roman occupation of part of Britain the
legionaries established a precarious and intermittent military ascendancy over the
whole of Scotland south of Antonine’s Wall, built between the estuaries of the Clyde
and the Forth. Celtic forts would be destroyed or occupied by the Roman Legions.

The rare dispersion of authenticated Roman forts in Scotland would seem to indicate
that the Romans were content to capture and hold the forts of the natives. It may be
something more than poetic imagination to envisage Roman soldiers standing sentinel
on the fort at Dunlop Hill guarding the line of communication between Carlisle and
Dumbarton. In the century or two following the departure of the Roman legions the
history of “the land of our fore-fathers” is somewhat hidden in the mist, but significant
racial movements, migrations, and invasions were slowly gathering together those

1

strange peoples who were later to emerge and consolidate into the Scottish nation.
Scotland did not become a kingdom until 1018; it did not achieve any measure of
Church establishment that would make Christianity a living and a dynamic force in the
land until the twelfth century; and it did not acquire her present territorial limits until
1266.

in. SCOTLAND BORN. In the late 16th century four great races emerged as rivals
to fight for possession of the land: (1) the Piets or Goidelic Celts, (2) the Britons or
Brythonic Celts, (3) the Scots, and (4) the Angles. From the union of these four races,
blended with stray elements of adventuresome and marauding Danes, Irish, Norsemen,
and Normans, the Scottish nation was born. Let us recognise, however, that a few of
the original settlers remained untouched. The people who settled in the district of
Cuningham were Brythonic Celts, and they were related to the race who occupied
Britian during the Roman occupation and invasion. It was not until 573 A.D., at a bat¬
tle near Carlisle, that this hardy people asserted their independence, and separated
from the solid body of Britons who stretched as far as the Bristol Channel. A
Northern Kingdom of Britons, Strathclyde, was then established, with territory ex¬
tending from the Solway Firth to the Clyde. Dumbarton, “the fortified hill of the
Britons,” was the capitol. Contemporary with Strathclyde there were these other
kingdoms in Scotland: North Pictland, occupying territory north of a line drawn be¬
tween Fort William and Montrose; South Pictland, covering the counties of Mearns,
Angus, Perth, Fife, and Kinross; Bernicia, holding the Tweedlands and the Lothians,
strategically placed for allegiance with the powerful Kingdom of Northumbria;

Dalriada, embracing Argyll and the Isles. From the fifth to the ninth centuries con¬
flicts among these rival kingdoms were constant, but gradually union was effected. In
844 A.D. Kenneth MacAlpine became ruler of the United Piets and Scots. One of his
successors, Constantine III (900-942), a great general in the wars against the Banes
and the Norse, and wise in the ruling of his kingdom, induced Strathclyde to accept his
brother as king. The two kingdoms remained separated for another century, rivals in
the struggle for ascendancy, or united in common cause against the Danes. Strathclyde
ceased to be a separate kingdom in 1018, when it was annexed by Malcolm II. Malcolm
acquired the Kingdom of Lothian by his victory at Carham in 1018. Scotland was now a
United Kingdom.

IV. THE CHURCH OF DUNLOP. The Christian faith came to Scotland perhaps as

2

early as 100 A.D. Tertullian, the great Roman historian, wrote about 200 A.D. that
“place in Britain inaccessible to the Romans have yielded to Christ.” We may assume
that these sections may well have been north of Hadrian’s Wall or even Antonine’s
Wall. Without doubt, it was Roman legionaries who first brought the teachings of Jesus
Christ to Scotland, And during the years when Scotland was in the upheaval of national
emergence the Hand of God was at work. Christian missionaries of the stature of
Apostles such as: St. Ninian, St. Columba, St. Kentigern (St. Mungo), and St. Cuthbert,
came to our ancestor’s land. They and their faithful disciples, along with numerous
lesser saints who names are perpetuated in the saint names of Scotland, had succeeded
by the end of the ninth century in establishing Christian religious practises all over
Scotland. Skene’s Chronicles of the Piets and Scots makes mention of the “Scottish
Church” as far back as 878 A.D.

The first Christian Church in Dunlop was erected near the relics of the Druids.

Dr. Thomas Chalmers wrote in 1824:

“In this vicinity there was in former times a Chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary,
which had an appropriate endowment for support of a Chaplain. After the Reforma¬
tion, this Chapel was allowed to fall in ruins, but the remains of it are still to be
seen on the side of a small rivulet, the Black Burn, which was here crossed by
stepping stones called ‘The Lady Steps,” and this name is still continued although
the steps have been superseded by a bridge.”

There are reasonable grounds for assuming that near the Druid stone (called Thor’s
Great Stane), on a field still called “the Templecroft,” the first Christian place of wor¬
ship in Dunlop was built.

The missionary who evangelised the early settlers of Ayrshire, the Brythonic Celts,
and who brought the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Celtic tribe at Dunlop was St.
Winning. St. Winning has been variously called: St. Finbar, Finnian, Vimin, Vinnen,
and Wynnyng.* St. Winning was a Scotsman by birth; he was trained in the monastery
of Moville in Ireland. In 520 A.D. he crossed to Scotland and became a scholar and an

Historical Collections of the Counties of Ayr and Wigton, 1884.

instructor at St. Ninian’s “Candida Casa.” He remained there for twenty years. While
at Moville he had under his charge the famous St. Columba. He died at Kilwinning in
570 A.D. and is buried there. Undoubtely St. Winning covered Dunlop in his evangelis¬
tic work. This saint found that the Druid Celtic chieftains and his followers readily
accepted Jesus Christ because their deeply religious instinct craved for something
more satisfying than their pagan faith could ever give. And, too, it was the “fullness
of God’s time.”

After St. Winning had won the chief to his cause, he received sanction and assist¬
ance to oust the Druids from their place of worship and from their dwellings around
the Thugart Stane, Chapel Crags, and the Holy Well. He took over these places and
there build his Church and founded a colony of monks. From there they went out to
evangelise the tribesmen, who had their homes in the watered dells and under the

rocky bluffs that are features of the topography of this parish. St. Winning built his

%

Church at Kilwinning (Church of Winning) near a sacred well and Druid grove. The
site and well were later appropriated by Romanised and Monastic Christianity. This
general practise supports the theory that the Lady Chapel was the Celtic cradle of
Christianity in Dunlop.*

The Church of Dunlop is beautifully situated in a miniature landscape of river, hill,
and dell, at the west end of the village. It stands on the site of the original 12th cen¬
tury Church, or where it may be assumed the first Church was erected when the
parish was formed. The present Church was erected in 1835, and opened in the last
month of that year. It is of rectangular design, lying east and west. An aisle projects
northwards from the centre. A massive tower, sixty feet high, crowned with an em¬
battled parapet, rises from the east end of the building fronting the public highway.

The Gothic arched windows in the upper and lower divisions of the tower give a pleas¬
ing relief to the severity of the design.

The main body of the Church is lighted by seventeen windows designed to give a
maximum light and an artistic variety of form. Those in the upper storey, with the
exception of two small lights in the east gable, are arched and divided into two lights
by mullions and transoms. Those in the lower storey are of ordinary design.

* See Archibald Scott’s The Pictish Nation, Its People and Its Church, pp. 57-58.

The only part of the Church with a claim to antiquity is the Dunlop Aisle, which, on
the north gable, presents authentic architectural features of the 17th century, as the
date 1641 clearly evidences. This is explained by the fact that when the Church was
rebuilt in 1835 an effort was made to preserve the sculptured stone-work and archi¬
tectural features of the Church it replaced, and the Church preceding that. The aisle
belongs to the family of Dunlop of Dunlop, to whom the Church owes a great debt for
their interest, generosity, and patronage.

Over the lintel of the entrance to the aisle is a deep frieze and cornice, from which
rise two columns having composite pillars. Between the columns there is a small
window-like recess backed with ashlar. Over the capitals of the columns is another
deep frieze and cornice, from which rise two pillars with composite capitals. Between
the columns a recess, now backed with ashlar, suggests that here was a niche for a
saint when such images were tolerated. On the capitals of the columns rest another
frieze and cornice surmounted by the principal window in the gable. This window is
framed in elaborate architectural designs. The sides are decorated with ornamental
scroll-work. On the top of the terminals are the heads of a man and a woman suggest¬
ing likenesses of persons in the time of King James VI. These stone heads support a
frieze and cornice surmounted by a semi-circular stone. In the centre of the stone is
an escutcheon surrounded with the fancifully carved scroll-work typical of the Elisa-
bethan and early Jacobean eraD In the centre of the escutcheon are two monogrames
(composed of the letters - I. D. E. C. - ) with the date 1641 above. The windows right
and left of the door are crowned with triangular stones similarly ornamented with
scroll-work. In the centre of each is a shield, with the letters - I. D. - on the right
one and - E. C. - on the left one. These are the initials of James Dunlop, 15th Laird
of that Ilk, who built the original aisle, and of his wife, Elisabeth, the daughter of
Alexander Cunninghame of Corsehill. This series of designs is completed with a tall
fleur-de-lis, which rises above the ornamental crown of the gable window.

The interior of the Church at Dunlop is notable for its galaxy of stained- glass win¬
dows. Only three of the lights remain to be illuminated in colour. The neat arrange¬
ment of transepts, aisle, and galleries, the chastely plain decor and the handsome pul¬
pit, all suffused with a soft glow of light from the multicoloured windows, render the
building pleasing to the eye and conducive to the true worship of Almighty God. The
Church was seated for 750 souls, but a slight extension to the choir stall in 1931 re¬
duced that number by about twenty.

5

The interior of the Church has been considerably improved and enhanced in the
past fifty years. In 1882 Thomas Douglas Cunninghame Graham, then proprietor of
Dunlop House, presented a series of handsome stained-glass windows executed by
Powell of London. These were built into the lights of the south wall of the Church. In
the centre of this wall is the pulpit. The two windows, upper and lower on either side
of the pulpit, portray the Twelve Disciples. The two windows at the east end of the
wall depict Abraham and Moses; David and Isaiah. The two windows next the west end
feature the Blessed Virgin and Dorcas; Eunice and Priscilla. They are made in the
style peculiar to the period; the figures are conventional; all have their proper em¬
blems, and each is surrounded with a frame of architectural devices. The following
inscription runs along the tier of windows on the ground floor:

“These windows were erected by T. D. C. Graham, in memory of Thomas Dunlop

Douglas, born 1st January 1776, died 30th January 1869. Also his wife Rosina

Hunter, born 28th June 1785, died 26th March 1864.”

Three stained-glass windows light the gallery of the Dunlop Aisle. They depict
Faith, Hope, and Charity (love). “The greatest of these” occupies the central position
in the gable.

The interior was still further enhanced in the summer of 1884 by extensive renova¬
tions and improvements inspired by Thomas Douglas Cunninghame Graham of Dunlop,
who generously defrayed the greater part of the expense.

The whole of the pews, choir, platform, and pulpit were entirely remodelled. The
pulpit was designed after the style of ornamentation of the windows of the aisle. A
handsome baptismal font designed to harmonise with the pulpit was placed at the inter¬
section of the main passages. The front of the gallery was adorned with embossed
work, and the walls and ceiling redecorated. These improvements were carried out
according to plans and designs by John W. Small, F. S. A.

The lower windows of the Dunlop Aisle were at the same time filed with the armori¬
al bearings of Dunlop of Dunlop in the east wall, Dunlop Douglas of Dunlop in the west
wall, and Cunninghame Graham of Dunlop in the north wall. The only alteration then
made on the exterior of the building was the addition of an archway, composed entirely
of ashlar, to protect the stair and doorway leading to the vault of the Dunlops of that
Ilk. This vault, a commodious and well-ventilated structure, is situated below the
Dunlop Aisle.

6

The reconditioned Church was reopened on August 31, 1884. Other improvements
have been made at various times. The late Francis Henderson, of the Anchor Line of
steamships (Henderson Brothers)^ while tenant of Dunlop House, conceived a great love
of the Church, and was a regular worshipper. He expressed this love in various ways,
notably by filling with stained glass the gable window of the vestry gallery. This win¬
dow depicts the Old Man in Adam on one side, and the New Man in Christ Risen, Glori¬
ous, and Triumphant, on the other, with the text: “As in Adam all die, even so in
Christ shall all be made alive.” On the sill is a brass tablet with the inscription:

“This window was designed by A If Webster, who on the outbreak of the Great War
in 1914 joined the Gordon Highlanders as 2nd Lieut., and gave his life for his coun¬
try.”

At various times there were inserted into the east windows of the Church the
armorial bearings of other noble families connected with the parish. Mrs. Houison
Crawfurd (also Crawford) inserted in the west windows of the ground floor the arms of
the Dairy mple Hays on the north side, and those of the Houison Crawfurds on the south
side. In the corresponding windows of the gallery are the arms of the Mures of Cald¬
well, and of the Eglinton family, to which the then Lady Mure belonged.

In 1934 Mrs. Henderson presented a window, designed by Powell of London, and
built it into the north window of the vestry gallery. The inscription on the sill reads:
“This window was erected to the most loving memory of Francis Henderson by his
devoted wife and three children. During the years he resided at Dunlop House his
Christian simplicity and unobtrusive generosity endeared him to all, and he will
long be remembered by those in this parish.”

Mrs. Henderson travelled from her residence in the south of England along with her
son, Lieut. Colonel Sir Vivian Henderson, M.P., Lady Henderson, and daughter, and
unveiled the window. The designers of the window describe it:

“The two lights of the window depict St. Nicholas and St. Christopher, selected as
suggesting Mr. Henderson’s connexion with shipping, and his love of children. The
face of St. Nicholas suggests a likeness to Mr. Henderson. In the tracery at the top
the Henderson arms, with those of Hammond on ‘An escutcheon of pretence’ as his
wife was an heiress.”

This galaxy of handsome stained-glass windows depicting patriarch and king, saints
and disciples, Adam and the Lord of Life, together with the flash of numerous armorial

7

bearings, lend to the Church a distinction equalled by few other country Churches in
Scotland.

The congregation, deeply sensible of the value of their place of worship, have shown
their love and appreciation by responding generously to every appeal to preserve and
enhance its beauty. In 1924 the sum of 1800 pound sterling was raised for further
renovations and redecoration. About the same time the Church was handed over to the
General Trustees, and an additional sum was secured from the heritors. With the
monies raised for the Church improvement scheme the Clandeboye School was con¬
verted into the present handsome hall; the interior of the Church was beautified, and
electric lighting installed; the small room which served for a vestry was considerably
enlarged, and tastefully furnished. The view from the vestry window, which fills the
west gable, presents a pleasing picture; the water of Glazert, in the fore-ground,
winds its way to the sea between Dunlop Hill and the Glebe Hill; beyond are swelling
pasture-lands, dotted with white farm-houses and small plantations; the hills of
Kilbirnie and West Kilbride fill the background and fade softly into the blue distance.

At the union of the Churches in 1929 the Kirk Sessions of the Parish Church and the
United Free Church agreed to distinguish the Churches by these names: the Parish
Church to be known as the Laigh Church and the former United Free Church as the
High Church.

V. THE MANSE OF DUNLOP. Before the Reformation (cir. 1517) the old manse
stood on the north side of Main Street, and was entirely surrounded by Church lands.
These lands must have extended at that time to approximately 40 to 50 acres. During
the dividing up of the spoil of the Reformation all this land, with the exception of nine
acres, passed into lay hands. The manse was reserved for the use of the vicar and
his successors.

In 1787 the heritors decided to build a new manse. “As the situation of the old
manse was thought inconvenient, being mostly surrounded by the lands of Kirkland-
Dunlop belonging to Gabriel Dunlop,” the heritors entered into an agreement with him,
whereby “the old manse and offices of the parish of Dunlop, with the garden thereof
and entries to the same,” were excambied for 54 falls, or thereby, of lands of Kirkland-
Dunlop lying on the opposite side of the highway and adjoining the glebe, he also paying
to the heritors the sum of 50 pounds sterling as an additional consideration in making
the exchange. The disposition by Major Andrew Dunlop of Dunlop for himself and the

8

other heritors in implement of the agreement is dated at Dunlop House, May 26, 1787,

The manse was accordingly built in 1781. Considerable additions, alterations, and
improvements have been made since then. A substantial addition was made in 1814.
Reverend Matthew Dickie, who was minister of the Church from 1834 to 1843, further
improved the manse by adding the west wing. Since 1915 over 1000 pounds sterling
have been spent by the heritors in bringing the manse up to modern requirements. In
1929, when Church and manse were handed over to the General Trustees, the manse
was again overhauled, and fitted with electric lights.

The manse may be described as somewhat too commodious, but comfortable old
house, quaintly rambling, like most old buildings, but beautifully situated with a
southern exposure in a pleasing landscape of wood and pasture.

VI. THE DUNLOP BURIAL GROUND. The old burial ground surrounded the Church,
and by various expedients was made to serve the needs of the parish until 1884, when
the heritors purchased half an acre of glebe land to provide more accommodation. In
1934 the Ayrshire County Council made a further extension, purchasing an acre and a
third of glebe land, but using only about a half of the same. The two extensions are
harmoniously merged into the old ground, the whole community having co-operated in
preserving the ancient site and amenities.

One of the old stones in the graveyard is worthy of note. It stands against the south
wall of the Church tower. The inscription which is dated, 1732, reads:

“This . is . the . burial . place . of . John . Dunlop . of . over hill . and . Barbara .

Gilmour . his . spous . and . their . children .”

Barbara Gilmour Dunlop was the originator of that brand of cheese known all over the
world as Dunlop Cheese.

VII. DUNLOP CHEESE. During the Covenanting persecution Barbara Gilmour
(Gilmore) Dunlop took refuge in North Ireland. There she was supposed to have
learned the art of making sweet milk cheese, of the brand now so popular, and made
and marketed all over the world with the trade name “Dunlop Cheese.” Reverend
Thomas Brisbane admitted to Reverend Matthew Dickie that he had merely heard the
Irish theory of origion in his “Old Statistical Account.” At any rate, wherever Barbara
Gilmour Dunlop learned the art, it was she who introduced it to Dunlop. Her stone
cheese press is still preserved in the Hill Farm.

The vogue of Dunlop Cheese rapidly spread in a district entirely devoted to dairy

9

farming, but unable to dispose of fresh- milk, and accordingly obliged to develope
cheese making. A sturdy board of independent cheese merchants soon sprang up in the
Kirktoun, helping the growth of the former small hamlet into a village. They pur¬
chased the cheeses from the farmers, and conveyed them to the Glasgow shops by
road. The advent of the railway enabled the farmers to market their milk direct to
Glasgow, and the flourishing trade in cheese devolved into an odd-time expedient for
using surplus milk.

Vin. DUNLOP CATTLE: THE AYRSHIRE BREED. Dunlop gave the world not only
a specific brand of cheese, but a famous breed of cattle - the Ayrshire. John Speir,
Esq., in a scholarly and scientific thesis on “The Early History of the Ayrshire Breed
of Cattle,” stated that the breed originated in Dunlop, or, at least, first appeared in the
Parish of Dunlop about the end of the 18th century. It was brought into the district by
one of the Dunlops of that Ilk, and may actually have been bred by him. It was first
known as Dunlop cattle, but the breed became so popular that herds spread over
Cuningham, when it acquired the name of “Cuningham” cattle. The value of the breed
for dairy purposes led to its adoption all over the country, so that it was given the
name of “Ayrshire.”

These cattle are pied, white and brown, are short in the leg, long in the horn,
straight in the back: the bulls are fiery in temper, the cows are placid and docile.

They are easily satisfied with food in comparison with heavier breeds, and give a re¬
markable yield of milk rich in butter fat.

John Speir, Esq., maintains that the cattle native to Scotland in early Celtic times
was a small black short-horned animal. The Romans introduced their own cattle to
Scotland, as the native breed was too light for draught purposes and for yoking to the
plough. The Roman breed was heavy, white in colour, and long in the horn. These
were the first pure white cattle known to Scotland, so that the popular belief that the
Druids sacrificed sacred white bulls is a myth. The bulls may have been painted with
a chalky substance.

The successive waves of invasions which broke upon the shores of Scotland left
peaceful settlements of Norwegians, Danes, and Saxons, who brought their native cat¬
tle from the Continent. In addition, English breeds found their way into England as a
matter of course. All these various kinds of cattle were cross-bred, to the enrichment
of the cattle stock in the country.

10

The antecedents of the Ayrshire are not to be found in any of the aforesaid cattle,
but in stock imported from the Netherlands not earlier than the 16th and not later than
the 17th centuries.

It is general acknowledged that the Ayrshire breed - coloured like the Holderness
(Humber area) white and brown, which are also of Dutch origin - first became suffi¬
ciently numerous to attract attention in the Parish of Dunlop. John Speir, Esq., and
his theory states that a Laird of Dunlop House brought breeding stock from the Nether¬
lands (by way of the Port of Ayr), and by skilful breeding produced his “Dunlop” cattle,
now known as the Ayrshire, and valued all over the world as the best cow for the pro¬
duction of milk.

Timothy Pont, in 1600, refers to the suitability of the soil of Dunlop for dairy farm¬
ing - “A deipe fatt clayeish soil much enriched by lyming,” whereby the pastures are
luxuriant, “Quhence it is that this pairt of the countrey (Cuningham) yields a grate deal
of excellent butter, as all the countrey besyde, but especially the Parishes of
Steuartoune and Dunlop.” Pont states further that Cuningham supplied most of the but¬
ter of the kingdom, one acre in Cuningham yielding more butter than three acres any¬
where else. It is probable that the rich yield in butter was due more to the breed of
the cow than the richness of the pasture.

Cuningham always had a reputation for dairy farming, as the ancient rhyme attests:

“Kyle for a man,

Carrick for a coo,

Cuningham for butter and cheese,

And Galloway for oo.”*

DC. AN ANCIENT MEMORIAL STONE AT DUNLOP. This memorial stone was
found in a corner of the grave-yard three-quarters embedded in the soil. It was ex¬
cavated, restored, and set in a cement mould for preservation. It is now safely housed
in Hans Hamilton’s tomb.

* It should be noted that Ayrshire cattle are coloured white and black instead of white and brown -
the typical colouring - are also assumed to be pure bred and are permitted entry in the Ayrshire
Herd Book. The Dunlap family in Virginia and West Virginia raised hundreds of head of Ayr¬
shire cattle. Note by Rev. Hanna.

11

There are said to be very few stones of this type in Scotland. The bottom part has
unfortunately been broken off and lost. No inscription can be traced. The figures are
Adam and Eve standing by the tree the fruit whereof they were not to eat else they
should surely die.

The armorial bearings cared at the head of the stone are those of the Dunlops of
that Ilk. The helmet is that of a lesser baron or esquire. The shield would bear, not
the eagle, but an inscription or lettering to commemorate the person to whom the
stone was erected. The hand with the dagger has been broken off and lost, but the
garland of liveries on which the land rested is still intact. The stone seems to be a
monument to one of the early Dunlops.

INTRODUCTION (Continued)

DUNLOP - 1000 A.D. TO CHURCH UNION 1929 A.D.

I. FROM CELTIC CHIEF TO NORMAN BARON. Up to the middle of the 11th cen¬
tury the Celtic chief on Dunlop Hill governed his clan much in the manner of his fore¬
bearers. He may have been at war with his neighbouring kingdoms much of the time,
but he lived in peace within his own realm, observing his ancient tribal customs, and
acknowledging the sovereignty of his hereditary overlords. He might rank as a Toisech
or Mormaer, and probably had begun to call himself “Dunlop of Dunlop.” We would
like to think that he may have been the progenitor of the noble family of that Hk. It is
a reasonable suggestion that the families whose patronymics are derived from their
estates have an age-long connexion with the land. When that patronymic is a Celtic
place name, the presumption is that the family is also of Celtic origin. If, in addition,
that family’s connexion with their name district can be traced back, as in the case of
the Dunlops, to the days of early feudalism, their claim to Celtic tribal chieftainship
seems difficult to refute. It is on such reasonable grounds that we assume that the
Dunlops of that Ilk, who later appear in this history, were descended from the tribal
chief of Dunlop Hill, and were noblemen in the Kingdom of Strathclyde.*

The Norman baron, after much of Britain had been subjugated by the Norman con¬
quest in 1066, proceeded to establish himself by erecting a castle on the most advan¬
tageous site within the bounds of his new estate. The advantages he would look for
were natural defences, proximity to roads and water, and a central and commanding
position. Quite naturally any such ideal would already be occupied by the castle of the
Celtic chief. The rule in such cases was invariable. The Celt had to yield to the Nor¬
man, but he was appeased by adequate recompense in other ways. The Norman knight,
with the help of the retainers he brought with him, proceeded to establish his position
and set the feudal machinery in motion. The new order would appear to have been

ical Society,” Volume XDC, October, 1925, No. 4, pp. 558-559. Note by Rev. Hanna.

peaceably grafted on the old. There was no native opposition, for no injustice was
done to the Celtic nobility, who, being merely tribal chiefs, held no title to their lands
in the feudal sense. There was no question of their being dispossessed, since private
ownership of land was outwith their communal system. They were reorganised to fit
into the feudal system. The title of mormaer or toisech changed into earl or thane;
communal possession of the land passed into royal ownership. By the close of King
David’s reign (1124-1153) most of Scotland was held by Norman vassals and subvas¬
sals who looked to the King as their feudal chief. The feudal system set the stage for
the establishment of the Scottish Church and the institution of the parochial system for
administering the offices of religion with some form of social service.

The first feudal baron of Dunlop was the first de Ross who was sent there by de
Morville. He ejected the tribal chief from his stronghold on Dunlop Hill, and his home.
Our Dunlop of Dunlop had to leave, but not in a bad spirit or truculent mood; he was
absorbed into the feudal system, and was given private ownership of land under the
vassalage of de Ross with sanction to build a castle. He removed to the banks of
Clerkland Burn, which divides Dunlop from Stewarton. Here he built his castle on a
site where Dunlop House now stands.

We do not know when the castle on Dunlop Hill ceased to be occupied, or how such
an ancient stronghold was allowed to fall into ruins. Nothing remains of it now, beyond
the unmistakable traces of the foundations of a building of considerable extent. The
hill commands an extensive view, and affords natural means of defence on all sides ex¬
cept the southern slope. On this side, near the top, are the remains of a deep wide
ditch or fosse. No trace of masonry is to be found, but the ground has never been ex¬
cavated. With the departure of the de Rosses the Dunlops became the leading nobility
of the parish, and remain so to this day.

IL THE INSTITUTION OF THE PAROCHIAL SYSTEM. From the time of Malcolm
and Queen Margaret the early Celtic Christian Church, called the Church of the
Culdees, was slowly being Romanised by a series of Anglicised and Normanised kings.
The process was hastened and consummated in the time of King David I, for he fa¬
voured the mediaeval English Church model. This was a united Church owing spiritu¬
al allegiance to Rome, secular allegiance to the king, and organised on a territorial
and feudal basis. King David I proceeded to super inpose the system on the “Ecclesia
Scotticana.”

Dunlop is a very old parish. Its first Church must have been constructed at the
same time as other old parish Churches in the Church-building era. It may have been
built as early as 1150 or a century later. Churches were being built in the 12th and
13th centuries all over the kingdom. By the 14th century the need may have been ade¬
quately met, but certainly there was little enthusiasm then for establishing religious
institutions. By the 15th and in the early 16th centuries Church buildings were being
allowed to lapse into repair and even decay.

IIL THE PRE-REFORMATION CHURCH. Dunlop Church was made a vicarage of
Kilwinning Abbey possibly at the end of the 12th century, and certainly not later than
the beginning of the 14th century, when the monks were pleading poverty “on account
of losses by various wars, and frequent inroads of enemies.” It was held by the monks
of Kilwinning from that time up to the Reformation. They collected or “farmed out”
the tythes, and appointed a vicar (“Vicarius” - a substitute) to administer the officers
of religion in Church and parish.*

This practise was in accordance with the ecclesiastical policy of the period. It was
one of the corrupt expedients adopted to maintain monasticism, which had spread its
power and influence all over Europe (including England and Scotland) by the end of the
12th century. Originally monasticism was a natural growth, in one way of speaking,
for men fled from the world of sin to the seclusion of holiness. These independent
anchorites grouped themselves into small organisations. The earliest order was in¬
stituted by St. Benedict in 529 A.D. From that order were derived all others: Cister¬
cians, Carthusians, Dominicans, and Carmelites. The rule of life of the Benedictine
Order was based upon a vow of Obedience, Poverty, and Chastity.**

Malcolm and Margaret had initiated the movement in Scotland by imposing Roman
monasticism on the existing Celtic Order. King Alexander I founded three monasteries;
but King David I moved even more rapidly in conforming the Scottish Church to the
Roman model. The method he used was simple: he founded a monastic institution;
gave to it crown lands; endowed it by granting absolute possession of the teinds of
anything up to twenty parishes. In return the monks had to serve the cure by

appointing a vicar or parish priest. Sometimes they saved the money by sending one
of their own number, but this practise was discouraged by the papal authorities. It
was the sad fate of Dunlop Parish to be deprived of its religious endowments for nearly
four centuries. During this period the history of Dunlop Parish is inseparable from
that of Kilwinning Abbey, and is wrapped in the same semi-obscurity owing to the loss
of the Abbey records.

IV. JOHN MAJOR, VICAR OF DUNLOP (1518-1550). John Major was the most
illustrious of all the vicars of Dunlop. He was born of humble parents at Gleghornie
in the Parish of North Berwick in 1469. He studied at Cambridge University, and
graduated from the University of Paris with his Doctor of Theology. He lectured in
Navarre and at the Sorbonne. He received an appointment as Professor of Theology
at Glasgow University; funds were provided by granting him the endowments of Dunlop
and of the Chapel Royal at Stirling. In 1522 he is described as: “Professor of The¬
ology, Treasurer of the Royal Chapel of Stirling, and Vicar of Dunlop.” The great
Scottish reformer, John Knox (1502-1572) studied under him. John Major was too old
a man to take an active part in the Reformation, but he was behind the movement.

When John Knox preached his notable sermon against papal abuses in 1547, John
Major was present. Patrick Hamilton and George Buchanan were students under him.
He continued to teach even in senility. He remained on to the teinds of Dunlop with
equal tenacity. He remained on to the teinds of Dunlop with equal tenacity long after
he was unable to render any service to the parish.* He died at St. Andrews in 1570 at
the age of eighty-one. He was a man who taught the Reformers.

V. THE DAYS OF THE REFORMATION, 1550-1563. We can learn only a very lit¬
tle of Reverend John Houston, the last Roman Catholic vicar of Dunlop, beyond refer¬
ence to his name in certain transactions dealing with Church properties and endow¬
ments. In 1566 Reverend John Houston, with the consent of Gavin Hamilton,
commendator of Kilwinning Abbey, disposed of the Church lands of the vicarage of
Dunlop by granting them in fee-firm to William Cunninghame of Aiket. He reserved
an acre of land adjoining the manse for the use of himself and his successors. From
this we may infer that Reverend Houston remained the vicar and continued to live in

Four Gospels. He also wrote A History of Greater Britian.

the manse and draw of the revenue up to 1566, although a Presbyterian clergyman was
appointed to Dunlop in 1563. Reverend Hans Hamilton was appointed reader in Dunlop
shortly after the Reformation. Hereafter the Church entered upon a more vital and
vigorous period of religious life.

VI. FROM THE REFORMATION TO THE COVENANT, 1563-1637. Reverend Hans
Hamilton (1563-1606), the son of Archibald Hamilton of Raploch, was appointed to
Dunlop in 1563, and he is variously described as vicar, reader, and exhorter. During
the transition period following the Reformation there was not a sufficient number of
accredited and qualified ministers of the Presbyterian Church to serve the needs of
every parish. So readers and exhorters were appointed, but without the status of or¬
dained clergymen. Reverend Hamilton attained the dignity of parish minister after
1574. His stipend is given at 78 pounds sterling. The relation of Pounds Scots to
Pounds Sterling at that time was five to one, and the purchasing value of sterling about
twenty times what it was in 1935, so Reverend Hamilton was well provided with a
stipend. For the first time in centuries the teinds of Dunlop were being used for the
legitimate purpose of maintaining the Ministry of Jesus Christ in the parish. With the
maintenance of an educated and qualified ministry, religion in Scotland began to be a
real force in the social, political, and national life.

Successors to Rev. Hans Hamilton were:

Rev. James Cunninghame, A.M., 1606-1608

Rev. James Montgomerie, A.M., 1608-1613

Rev. Hew Eglinton, A.M., 1615-1647

VII. THE DAYS OF THE COVENANT, 1637-1690. The Prayer Book of King
Edward VI (1547-1553) of England, generally adopted at the Reformation was replaced
by John Knox’s own Liturgy, for it certainly was no desire of Knox that the form of
public worship should be left to individual ministers, and wisely so! It was King
Charles I’s (1625-1649) attempt in 1637 to force Laud’s Liturgy upon the Scottish
Presbyterian Kirk that set the entire nation up in arms against everything that sa¬
voured of Episcopacy. The National Covenant in 1638 signed in the blood of noble and
commoners, constituted the principles of civil and religious liberty for which the peo¬
ple of Scotland fought and died during the next fifty years. The wars of the Covenant
were all wars the most to be deplored - Civil Wars. Dunlop has not been accustomed
to flaunt its Covenanting honours. Here no martyrs shed their blood. But heroes of

17

the Covenant there were in Dunlop: Reverend Gabriel Cunninghame, for 40 years was
hunted and harried by the agents of Episcopacy, ejected from Church and Manse, fined
and imprisoned; the noble families of Dunlop of Dunlop and Mure of Caldwell fought
and suffered imprisonment, fines, and sequestration of estates. With such champions
to lead them the ordinary parishoners must have played a worthy role.

Successors to Rev. Hew Eglinton were:

Rev. Gabriel Cunninghame, A.M., 1648-1683
Rev. John Hay, A.M., 1680-1682
Rev. Alexander Lyndsay, 1685-1687
Rev. William Robison, 1688-1690

James Dunlop of that Ilk, who held the estates from 1617 to 1634, resisted the at¬
tempt of King Charles I to introduce Episcopacy. To avoid sequestration, he made
over his estates to his brother, John Dunlop of Garnkirk, a member of the mercantile
aristocracy of Glasgow. Covenanting blood ran strong in the family. His son, James
James Dunlop of Dunlop, was imprisoned along with other Ayrshire Lairds in 1665 for
active resistance to the Episcopal administration under Lauderdale and Rothes; he was
freed in 1667 on condition of granting a bond to keep the peace; the bond was placed at
2000 merks. About this time, 1666, the Pentland Rising inflamed the Privy Council to
horrible extremes of persecution. James Dunlop, already under the ban, set about se¬
curing his property by making over a considerable portion of his estates to the Earl of
Dundonald to avoid forfeiture. His son Alexander Dunlop, who succeeded him suffered
also in the cause of the Covenant. The Scottish writer Wodrow mentions that he was
imprisoned on the 30th of July in 1683 on suspicion of being concerned with the Both-
well Brig Covenanters, and was compelled to give up his estate, besides a bond of
12,000 Pounds Scots to appear in November following. He was indicted anew in April
of 1684, when he made over the lands to his son John. Shortly afterwards he emigrated
to North Ireland and at a later date to British- America probably to escape the danger
that threatened every stout Covenanter during “The Killing Times.”* Alexander Dun¬
lop served as a soldier at the Siege of Londonderry in 1689; he married Antonia Brown
and they went to Virginia with their large family.**

In 1684, John Dunlop’s son, John, secured the lands that his father had settled on

18

him, and in the following year acquired from the Earl of Dundonald the lands his
Covenanting grandfather had conveyed over to Dundonald. His considerable estates
were erected into the Barony of Dunlop. As John Dunlop died without heirs, the title
became extinct.

VID. PRESBYTERIANISM AT WORK, 1690-1843. The Revolution Settlement estab¬
lished Presbyterianism. An Act was inserted in the Treaty of Union in 1707 providing
for the maintenance of the Presbyterian Church in Scotland, and requiring the sover¬
eign to take a Coronation oath to maintain “the government, worship, discipline,
rights, and privileges of the Church of Scotland.” The substance of this oath is still
reaffirmed by the King or Queen in his or her letter addressed to the General Assem¬
bly of the Kirk on the opening day.

Successors to Rev. William Robison were:

Rev. John Jamieson, 1692-1708
Rev. James Rowat, 1709-1732
Rev. Robert Baird, A.M., 1733-1757
Rev. James Wodrow, 1757-1759
Rev. John Fullerton, 1760-1762
Rev. John Graham, 1763-1779

Rev. Thomas Brisbane, 1780-1837. His is a notable ministry of fifty-eight years.

He died aged ninety-five.

Rev. Matthew Dickie, 1834-1843

IX. FROM THE DISRUPTION TO CHURCH UNION, 1843-1929.*

Successors to Rev. Matthew Dickie were:

Rev. William Gebbie, 1843-1883

Rev. Robert Graham, 1884-1886

Rev. James Symon, 1886-1915

Rev. James MacCardel, M.A., B.D., 1915-1923

Rev. David B. Baxter, M.A., B.D., 1923-1928

* Rev. Frank Clark, B. D., was inducted at the Dunlop Laigh Kirk by the Presbytery of Kilmar¬
nock and Irvine, Thursday, March 20, 1947. The author of this volume is a correspondent of

X. THE DUNLOPS OF THAT ILK.*

1. The first Dunlop discovered in written record is Dom. Gullielmus de Dunlop
in a national copy of an inquest, 1260. The document is in the charter chest of the
Burgh of Irvine. The title Dom. (Dominus) was used to designate a lord, baron, peer,
and was accorded by courtesy to monks. The title applied to Dunlop signifies equality
of rank with the “Balliols” and “Crawfurds.” If at this early date William de Dunlop
was a Scottish peer, it may reasonably be assumed that he had a long line of noble an¬
cestry behind him.

2. A Neil Fitz-Robert De Dulap appears in the “Ragman Rolls” as having sub¬
scribed allegiance to King Edward I of England. In 1306 his estates, along with the
estates of the de Rosses, were forfeited, on the accession of Bruce, for supporting
John Balliol in the contest for the Scottish crown. The Dunlop estates were later re¬
turned to the family, as various records attest, but there are regrettable gaps in the
history of the family for the next century.

3. James De Dunlop appears in a valuation of the County of Ayr in the 14th cen¬
tury as the possessor of Dunlop.

4. John De Dunlop was recipient of a charter from Hugh de Blare, 1407.

5. Alexander Dunlop of Hunt-hall or Dunlop, was a son of the above, John, and
is mentioned by Rymer as “of that Ilk,” in the reign of King James I of Scotland. From
his time the word “de” was dropped in favour of “of that Ilk.”

6. John Dunlop of that Ilk, cir. 1450, was a son of the above, Alexander.

7. Constantine Dunlop of that Ilk is mentioned as Laird of Hunt-hall in 1483. He
died in 1505, leaving a daughter, Janet (who married James Stuart, Sheriff of Bute,
great-grandson of King Robert IL Their son was the first Earl of Bute), and a son,
John Dunlop. Both the sons and daughters of Dunlop made good marriages, allying
themselves with noble or landed families. This is true of the family both in the early

and later centuries, and indicated that the Dunlops had such high status among the
Scottish nobility as to command good marriage alliances, and were further alert to
the advantages and prestige accuring to their house from such “marriages de con¬
venances

8. Alexander Dunlop, son of Constantine, held sway or his retour in 1476.

9. John Dunlop (1507-1509), a son of Constantine (No. 7), and nephew of Alexan¬
der, married Marion, a daughter of the fourth Earl of Douglas, and granddaughter of
King Robert in, and was succeeded by his son, Alexander.

10. Alexander Dunlop (1509-1547). He had the patronage and presentation of
the Parish and Church of Dunlop. By a Charter under the Great Seal in the reigh of
Queen Mary and the Protectorship of Arran he settled his estates on his five sons in
succession: James, William, Constantine, Robert, and Andrew. His daughter married
Archibald Lyon, a son of the family of Glamis. His son Robert was the founder of the
Dunlops of Hapland.

11. James Dunlop (1547-1558).

12. Alexander Dunlop (1558-1596).

13. JAMES Dunlop (1596-1617). He married Jean, a daughter of Somerville of
Cambusnethan, Their family of sons, James, Alexander, John, William, and Thomas,
became the progenitors of the various cadet branches. The eldest son, James, carried
on the direct line. The third son, John, purchased the lands of Garnkirk, and founded
the cadet branch associated with that estate. Of the other sons, William founded the
family of “Bleak,” and Thomas the family of “Househill.”

14. James Dunlop of that Hk (1617-1634), was conspicuous as a Covenanter. He
resisted the attempt of King Charles I to introduce Episcopacy.

15. James Dunlop (1634-1670) was a son of the above James.* He married

* The author’s particular family is descended from the Dunlops of Dunlop who gave to Pennsyl¬
vania, Virginia, the Carolinas, Kentucky, and Ohio, many famous settlers. Our Scotch-American
ancestor was Captain Alexander Dunlop (1716-1744), the son of Alexander Dunlop (cir. 1689),
who came to Virginia with his famous sister, Elisabeth Dunlop, of “The Seneca Trail” fame,
and many other relatives: his grandfather was James (No. 15). Note by Rev. Hanna.

Elisabeth, daughter of Cunninghame of Corsehill. He was outstanding among the lead¬
ers of the Covenant. It was this Laird who built the aisle of the Church at Dunlop. His
initials and those of his wife, with suggested likeness of their faces, are included in the
ornamental work of the aisle gable.

16. Alexander Dunlop (1670-1683) was a son of the above James. He was another
champion of Presbyterianism.

17. Sir John Dunlop (1684-1706) was a son of the above Alexander.

18. Francis Dunlop (1706-1748) was a brother to the above Sir John, and was
among the gentlemen called upon in 1707 to witness the disposition of the Scottish
Regalia in Edinburgh Castle.

19. John Dunlop (1747-1784). He was deputed by the County of Ayr to offer the
assistance of the County to the Duke of Cumberland during Bonnie Prince Charlie’s
romantic bid for the royal inheritance of the Stuarts (1745-1746). He married the
daughter of Sir Thomas Wallace of Craigie, who became the celebrated Mrs. Dunlop of
Dunlop, immortalised as the great friend and patron of Scotland’s national poet, Robert
Burns (1759-1796). She was descended from Sir William Wallace, the champion of
Scottish freedom. Their sons and daughters were: Francis, Thomas, Alexander,
Andrew, James, John, Antony, Agnes, Susan, Frances, Rachel, and Keith.

20. Andrew Dunlop (1784-1804). He was the fourth son of the above John (No. 19).

He was a Brigadier-General, and served in the Revolutionary War (1775-1783), and

died in command of the Island of Antigua in 1804.

21. James Dunlop (1804-1832) was a brother to the above Andrew (No. 20). He
was a military figure. He served in the Revolutionary War, in India, and served as
Brigadier-General in command of a Brigade in the 5th Division of Wellington’s forces;
during the Peninsular War he commanded the 5th Division under Wellington. He was
elected a member of the Stewarty of Kirkcudbright in 1812.

22. Sir John Dunlop (1832-1839) was a son of the above James (No. 21). He mar¬
ried Charlotte Constance, a daughter of General Sir Richard Dawns Jackson. They had
James and Charlotte.

23. Sir James Dunlop (1839-1858). He died unmarried.

24. John Dunlop, the sixth son of John Dunlop (No. 19), 19th Laird, and of
Frances Ann Wallace (Robert Burn’s benefactor, Mrs. Dunlop of Dunlop), succeeded
Sir James Dunlop (1839-1858), Bart., as the 24th representative of the family. And so

22

the "Chieftainship” of the family of Dunlop continues.

25. John Andrew Wallace Dunlop was a son of the above John (No. 24).

26. Robert Henry Wallace Dunlop was a son of the above John (No. 25).

27. Keith Wallace Dunlop was a son of the above Robert (No. 26). He was born
in 1862 and later became a citizen of the United States, so consequently the "Chieftain¬
ship” may be claimed by the descendants of his brother, Arthur Wallace Dunlop, who
was born in 1866, and who was at one time a Captain in the Indian Staff Corps.

XL THE DUNLOPS OF HAPLAND AND BORLAND (1520-1820). Ancestors of the
Browns of the Hill and of the Reids of Balgray make up this noble family. Alexander
Dunlop, the tenth Laird, settled his estates on his five sons. The fourth son, Robert,
would appear to have secured the lands of Hapland as his portion. In 1597, David
Dunlop, fourth of Hapland, exchanged his lands for Borland. By 1750 the family is
represented by the two daughters of John Dunlop (sixth of Borland), Mary (born 1778),
and Jean, who married Thomas Reid of Balgray, Irvine.

Between 1660 and 1732 John Dunlop lived. He married Barbara Gilmour. One of
their descendants, Andrew Brown of Craighead, married the above Mary (1779-1839).
Their son, John Brown of Craighead and Hill, had: Jane, Andrew, John, Robert, Mary,
Allan, and Marion.

XII. THE DUNLOPS OF LOANHEAD. James, son of John Dunlop, fifth of Borland,
founded this branch. He married Agnes Service (1742). Their grandson, James Dunlop,
Beith, married Marion Howie (1806). They had ten children, of whom Jean married
Orr Spiers; Elisabeth married William Stewart, Beith; John married Marion Stevenson;
Thomas married Elisabeth Robertson; Matthew Crauford married Margaret Galt;
William Raeside married a Miss Pollock.

XIII. THE DUNLOPS OF AUCHENSKAITH. James Dunlop, 13th of that Ilk, had a
family of five sons, one of whom Reverend Alexander, is reasonably supposed to have
been the scion of the House of Dunlop who was a minister of Paisley Abbey from 1644

to 1677. He married Elisabeth Mure, granddaughter of Reverend Hans Hamilton, minis¬
ter of Dunlop. They had seven children all with numerous descendants. Their son,
Reverend Professor Dunlop, was Principal of Glasgow University in 1698, and Histori¬
ographer for Scotland. He married Sarah, sister of Principal Carstairs. They had a
son, Reverend Professor Alexander Dunlop, Professor of Greek in Glasgow University,
who grandson was Alexander Dunlop of Keppoch (1766-1840). His daughter, Jane

23

Dunlop, married John Cadell of Tranent, Advocate. Their ninth child, Helen Boyle,
married Reverend Robert Story of Roseneath.

XIV. THE DUNLOPS OF AUCHENSKAITH, AND CADETS. Auchenskaith was ac¬
quired by John Dunlop, a cadet of the Dunlops of that Ilk, in 1407. The Dunlops can be
traced in possession of this estate up to 1595.

1. Rev. Alexander Dunlop, minister of Paisley Abbey, 1644-1677. He was a
second son of James Dunlop, 13th of that Ilk, and elder brother of John of Garnkirk; he
married Elisabeth Mure, granddaughter of Rev. Hans Hamilton, minister of Dunlop.
They had numerous descendants.

2. Rev. Prof. William Dunlop (1654-1703). He was Principal of Glasgow Univer¬
sity. He married Sarah Carstairs. They had numerous issue.

3. Rev. Prof. Alexander Dunlop (1682-1747). He was Professor of Greek at
Glasgow University. He married and had issue.

4. John Dunlop (1730-1805). He married and had issue.

5. Alexander Dunlop (1766-1840) of Keppoch. He married and had issue.

6. (a) John Dunlop (1789-1868). He was a Temperance Reformer.

(b) Alexander Dunlop (1798-1870). He married and had issue. His eighth
child was Henry Liston Murray-Dunlop of Corsock, Dalbeattie.

Hundreds of Dunlops can claim descent from this cadet branch.

XV. THE DUNLOPS OF GARNKIRK. This great family was founded by John Dunlop,
the third son of James Dunlop, 13th of that Ilk. John Dunlop became a very prosperous
merchant and burgess of Glasgow in 1631. He married a wealthy widow, Bessie Dunlop,
and placed his wife’s fortune in the estate of Garnkirk, which remained in the posses¬
sion of the family until 1769. This cadet branch had numerous descendants and gave
distinguished citizens to Glasgow, Edinburgh, the Colonies, the United States, the
Netherlands, and the Dutch Colonies.

T. Dunlop in his Memorabilia of the Families of Dunlop, wrote:

“William Dunlop, the third son of James of Garnkirk, was sent to Holland in 1681 to
acquire a commercial education. As in thos days there was a great intercourse be¬
tween the two countries, many Scotsmen were settled in Rotterdam and other Dutch
towns as merchants, besides many others who found refuge there from the persecu¬
tions which had been raging at home.”*

* T. Dunlop, Memorabilia of the Families of Dunlop, 1898, p. 21.

24

It was the persecutions of the Covenant that induced so many Scots to seek the freedom
and refuge of Holland. Even to this day the Scottish communities there love and honour
all that the Covenant embodied. The above William Dunlop, writing from Holland, re¬
fers to his cousin James Dunlop of Rotterdam, who was also settled there.

John Coutts, Banker, was provost of Edinburgh in 1742; he was the son of Patrick
Coutts and Jean Dunlop (her second husband). Colin Dunlop, Provost of Glasgow, 1770,
was a “Tobacco Lord.” He founded along with five others, Glasgow’s first native bank,
“The Ship Bank,” afterwards merged into the Union Bank. The Dunlop Mansions in
Argyle Street were built by him. Hence the name Dunlop Street, which ran past the
Mansions. His grandson, Colin, owned the Clyde Ironworks. Another Colin Dunlop of
the same family was Lord Provost of Glasgow in 1794. The mother of the Very Rever¬
end Dr. Robert Story of Roseneath was Helen Boyle Dunlop Story, from the Garnkirk
branch.

The descendants of the prolific and gifted family of Dunlop have spread the name
all over the world. The Dunlop tyre (tire) is now a household word; its inventor was
John Boyd Dunlop (1840-1921) from the family of Dreghorn. He invented the pneumatic
tyre in 1888.

Any individual legitimately bearing the name Dunlop or Dunlap may lay claim to the
Parish of Dunlop as their place of origin. J. Paterson, Esq. wrote:

“The Family of Dunlop is of noble origin, as are almost all those whose patronymics
are derived from a locality, for there can be little doubt that the district of Dunlop
gave the name to the family.”*

XVI. SIR WALTER SCOTT DESCENDED FROM THE DUNLOPS THROUGH THE
GARNKIRK BRANCH.** It is very interesting and inspiring to note and relate that Sir
Walter Scott (1771-1832), Scotland’s and the world’s celebrated novelist and poet, was
descended from the Dunlops of Dunlop through the Garnkirk branch. Here is his con¬
nexion:

1 James Dunlop (born 1574), 13th of that Ilk, married Jean Sommerville (ancestors of
the author of this volume).

2 John Dunlop, married an heiress, Bessie Dunlop, the founder of the Garnkirk
branch.

3 Jean Dunlop, married (first) Robert Campbell of North Woodside, the son of
Campbell of Blythswood.

4 Janet Campbell, married Thomas Haliburton of Dryburgh Abbey and New Mains.
5 Barbara Haliburton, married Robert Scott of Sandy kno we.

6 Walter Scott, Esq., a Writer to the Signet in Edinburgh, who married Mar¬
garet, a daughter of Professor John Rutherford of Medicine in the University
of Edinburgh.

7 SIR WALTER SCOTT (1771-1832). He was born in College Wynd, Edinburgh,
Scotland, August 15, 1771. He married Charlotte Charpentier (1777-1826)
in Carlisle Cathedral, December 24, 1797. He died at Abbotsford, Septem¬
ber 21, 1832.

became the biographer of Sir Walter. He was editor of the “Quarterly Re¬
view.”

Donald Dunlop, who had issue with descendants:

(1) Lt. Col. Archibald Henry Dunlop.

1. Robert Arthur Dunlop (1904 - ).

This family sprang from the Garnkirk branch, perhaps from James, third of
Garnkirk, whose issue by three marriages we are unable to trace.

Thomas Dunlop, of Glasgow (1831-1893) married, 1852, Robina, daughter of William
Jack of Glasgow. Their eldest son, Right Hon. Sir Thomas Dunlop, G.B.E., of Wood-
burn, Lord Provost of Glasgow, J. P., D.L., LL.D., (1855- ) married 1879, Dorothy,

Dunlop of Lockerbie

In tracing the lineage of this house, Burke gives the Dunlop family tree, beginning
with Constantine, seventh Laird of that Ek. The Lockerbie family is descended from
the cadet branch of Garnkirk: The sixth son of Jame, third of Garnkirk, was Colin
Dunlop of Carmyle, Provost of Glasgow, 1770. His son was James Dunlop of Tollcross
(1741 - ). His second son was George Dunlop of Edinburgh, Advocate (1777 - ).

His fourth son was Colin Dunlop of Fullerton House, Lanark, (1816 - ). His second

son was Colin Dunlop of Lockerbie House (1844-1914), married Mary, daughter of John
Crum of Thornliebank, Eastwood - issue, Colin John Dunlop (1869-1908); and Agnes
Mary Helen, married 1899, John Stewart Lyon of Kirkmichael.

Seat: Lockerbie House, Dryfesdale, Dumfries.

The above Dunlops all adopt in their armorial bearings the eagle, crest, and motto
of the Dunlops.

DUNLOPS IN THE NETHERLANDS (HOLLAND)

In the 17th century Dunlops began to trade with and settle in Holland. They figure
also in various records as soldiers in the Netherlands.

From a Dutch publication called Nederland’s Patriciaat, published in 1923, we find
the genealogy of the Scotch-Dutch Dunlops - (pp. 38-49) a prolific and prosperous
stock, 1753-1923. The genealogy of the book begins:

1. James Dunlop. Flourished before 1753.

2. David Dunlop (1721 - ). He was born in Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland. De¬

parted from Fenwick, 1751. He married in the Scots Kirk, Rotterdam, Janet
Roberts, 1753, whose parents came from Bo’ness, Scotland.

a. Jane Dunlop (1754 - ).

b. Johanna Dunlop (1756 - ).

c. James Dunlop (1758 - ).

d. David Dunlop (1766 - ).

e. Samuel Dunlop (1768 - ).

f . Janet Dunlop (1770 - ).

g. Alexander Dunlop (1773 - ).

All were baptised in the Scots’ Kirk, Rotterdam. The numerous descendants of
this family were conspicuous in Holland and the Dutch colonies for the next two
centuries as merchants, traders, sugar manufacturers, distillers, scholars,
bankers, authors, philosophers, and farmers. The present representatives of the
family hold positions of standing in the business world of Holland.

There was a David Dunlop who was a Ruling Elder in Fenwick Parish Church, 1643.
As Ruling Elders were selected in those early days chiefly from the heritors or landed
class, he must have been a man of substance. Was he (or his antecedent) a younger son

32

of one of the Dunlops of that Ilk? Fenwick’s proximity to Dunlop Parish indicates that
this is a perfectly reasonable supposition. A corner of Fenwick Churchyard affords
evidence of numerous Dunlops in the parish for the succeeding centuries. There are
now four families of Dunlops in Fenwick, unrelated, except perhaps in origin.

The earliest authentic evidence of Dunlops in Holland is to be found in the
Memorabilia of the Dunlops by Archibald Dunlop. As he had access to voluminous
Dunlop papers his evidence may be taken as correct. He records that William Dunlop,
third son of John, first of Garnkirk, was sent to Holland in 1681 to acquire a commer¬
cial education. In those days there was great intercourse between the two countries.
Many Scotsmen were settled in Rotterdam, and other Dutch towns, as merchants.
Others found refuge there from the persecutions of the Covenant.

In one of his letters William mentions a James Dunlop, his cousin, then resident in
Rotterdam with his wife and family, who showed him great kindness during his stay in
Holland. In Blair’s Glasgow Necropolis, p. 56, there is an allusion to a James Dunlop
of Rotterdam, who may be the same person. He was selected by the Estates of the
Scottish Parliament in 1688 for the task of importing not less than ‘ten thousand stand
of arms for the use of His Majesty’s subjects in this kingdom.’ This James Dunlop,
said to be either the Househill branch or of the Auchenskaith branch, and a son of Rev.
Alexander Dunlop of Paisley Abbey, may have been the progenitor of some of the Dutch
Dunlops.

New Year’s Day (1790)

To Mrs. Dunlop of Dunlop by the Scottish poet,
Robert Burns (1759-1796)

This day, Time winds th’ exhausted chain;
To run the twelvemonths’ length again:

I see the old, bald-pated fellow,

With ardent eyes, complexion sallow,

Adjust the unimpair’d machine,

To wheel the equal, dull routine.

The absent lover, minor heir,

In vain assail him with their prayer;

Deaf as my friend, he sees them press,

Nor makes the hour one moment less.

Will you (the Major’s with the hounds,

The happy tenants share his rounds;

Coila’s fair Rachel’s care today,

And blooming Keith’s engaged with Gray)
From housewife cares a minute borrow
(That grandchild’s cap will do to-morrow),
And join with me a- moralising;

This day’s propitious to be wise in.

First, what di yesternight deliver?
‘Another year has gone for ever.’

And what is this day’s strong suggestion?
‘The passing moment’s all we rest on!’

Rest on - for what? what do we here?

Or why regard the passing year?

Will Time, amus’d with proverb’d lore,

Add to our date one minute more?

37

A few days may - a few years must -
Repose us in the silent dust.

Then, is it wise to damp our bliss?

Yes - all such reasonings are amiss!

The voice of Nature loudly cries,

And many a message from the skies,

That something in us never dies:

That on this frail, uncertain state,

Hand matters of eternal weight:

That future life in worlds unknown
Must take its hue from this alone;

Whether - as heavenly glory bright,

Or dark as Misery’s woeful night.

Since then, my honour’d first of friends,
On this poor being all depends;

Let us th’ important now employ,

And live as those who never die.

Tho’ you, with days and honour crown’d,
Witness that filial circle round
(A sight life’s sorrows to repulse,

A sight pale Envy to convulse),

Others now claim your chief regard;
Yourself, you wait your bright reward.

CHAPTER I

From “The House of Dunlop* by
Mrs. Mary Freda Dunlop White -

The Dunlaps, Reverend Alexander Dunlop,
M.A. Line by Miss Olivia Gertrude Dunlap
and Rev. Hanna -

CHAPTER I

From “The House of Dunlop”*

Wild winds swept across the darky sky rifting the clouds to show a glint of moonlight
on the ramparts of Dunlop Hill. In the watchtower tall, Celtic Chieftain, John of Dunlop,
stood alone. Below on the stone parapet his stalwart henchmen fingered their shining
daggers and waited the assault. John’s fierce, blue eyes looked beyond his meadow-
lands toward the deep forest where danger and death lurked tonight for the unwary.

Only this morning a runner had fallen exhausted at his master’s feet gasping a mes¬
sage containing a dreaded name that was wont to bring terror to the soutest heart,
“Romans attack - tonight - through the forest.”

“Roman swine!” John of Dunlop’s hand went to his dirk. “By Thor and Balder, I
fear them not ! ”

The runner had risked his life to save his Chief. Behind the enemy lines, the lad
had learned that the Romans must capture Dunlop Hill to complete their lines of com¬
munication from Carlisle to Dumbarton. The centurian’s plan was to have his men
creep silently through the forest at nightfall. Now, thanks to the fealty of the brace
youth, the forest was alive with Dunlop men armed with their trusty dirks.

Suddenly wild cries rang out from the wood where the night mist was falling, and dim
shapes appeared crossing the meadow-lands. A torn remnant of the once proud cohort
was advancing on the Castle. Unthinkable that Roman soldiers should be worsted by a
handful of barbarians. On the soldiers came. Yet there was no sign from the dark
Fortress. On they came, plunging into the icy Glazert Water, and trying for a foothold
on the steep hillside beyond.

Then wild, Celtic battle cries rent the air as Dunlop and his men charged the Romans
with furious onslaught. Reeling, the front line of legionaries fell back upon their ad¬
vancing comrades. Far below, the dark Glazert Water was waiting to carry the wounded

41

Romans to an ignominious grave. Thus ended the assault on Dunlop Castle. Late into
the night, till the smoking torches burned low, there was the sound of feasting and
revelry in the castle hall. Dunlop and his victorious men dined merrily on boar’s head,
filling their drinking horns again and again from huge tankards of mead. Shouts of
laughter and the songs of the Bard resounded through the stone corridors.

A different scene was taking place in the dark wood. There the white-robed Arch-
Druid was standing before the altar within the magic circle. Solemnly he chanted a
curse on the enemy of his people:

“Rome shall perish - write that word
In the blood that she has spilt;

Perish, hopeless and abhorred,

Deep in ruin, as in guilt.”

The Romans had conquered England by the year 78 B.C. But her legions could make
no headway against the Scottish Barbarians who avenged themselves against the Romans
by raiding and plundering across the Border. At last, in desperation, Hadrian ordered
the building of the Wall across northern Britain all the way from Solway Firth to the
North Sea, a distance of eighty miles. This vast Wall was defended by stone castles
from sixty to seventy feet square, built at intervals of one mile. Between the castles
were stone turrets or watch towers which were used as sentry boxes. At every fourth
mile there was a fort, covering from three to six acres, occupied by a large garrison
of picked soldiers. Even in the narrowest places, three soldiers with shields could
walk abreast on the Wall.

The Wall was scarcely completed before the daring Scots conceived a trick to
frighten the Roman sentries. By night the Barbarians, armed with their hooked weapons,
would climb up and pull the Romans off the wall and dash their heads against the ground.
In self defense the Romans thereafter went out every Spring and burned all the heather
on the north side of the Wall for ten miles back, so that no murderous Celt could creep
up on them unobserved.

When Rome began to decline during the 4th Century A.D. she had to gather in her
legions from the Wall to protect her homeland. The thin line of soldiers left on guard
were no match for the wily Celts who raided over the Wall and made breaches through
its embankments. Soon the Celts were to be seen pasturing their sheep and setting up
their beehives in the heather on the south side of the Wall.

42

Rome could not conquer these Celts, but they yielded to Jesus Christ. About the
year 520 the good missionary, Saint Winning, came to minister to the Celtic tribe in
Ayrshire. He sought an audience with Chief Dunlop, and was received under the great
oak in front of the Castle. For the Chief had taken precaution not to allow the stranger
in the Castle, according to ancient belief, lest Saint Winning might practise magical
arts and thus get the better of him.

St. Winning came bearing a silver cross and a beautiful illuminated copy of the
Sacred Scriptures; and the war -like Chief soon realised that the good man had come
with a message of divine love, and not magical arts. Dunlop was amazed at the Book
from which St. Winning read to him. Rude and ruthless though the Chieftain was, he
listened with awe and reverence to the story of Jesus Christ. It was not hard for Dun¬
lop to understand because he was already familiar with a god in heaven, Thor, who left
his spirit on earth in the form of the golden bough tmistletoe).

Near the Druid’s Stone, by the Chapel Crags, from the base of which gushes the Holy
Well, the first Christian Church was built in the Parish of Dunlop. St. Winning wisely
allowed the Celts to keep their sacred festivals and adapt them to Christian uses.

Many of the Druid rituals were derived from Hebrew origins. Their magic circle of
stones was a counterpart of the circle Joshua made a Gilgal with stones taken from the
Jordan River. The sacred stone chest of the Druids was regarded the same as the Ark
of the Covenant among the Hebrews.

The Beltane fires marking the birth of Spring now became the fires of Easter cele¬
brating the Festival of the Risen Lord. The Beltane fires in the Autum, which in Celtic
practise marked the death of the year and commemorated all departed spirits, became
All Saint’s Day. The evergreen holly with its red berries was regarded as the symbol
of everlasting life; and the mistletoe signified the mystery of the Abiding Spirit.

Ancient Druid customs were thus tolerated until the superstitions of the people could
give way to a pure and simple faith in Jesus Christ.

In the year 410 the prophecy of the Arch-Druid came true, and the Romans were
forced to leave Britain forever. In 573, Chieftain Dunlop joined with neighbouring
chiefs in a battle for independence against Southern Britain. The Celts were victorious.
A Northern Kingdom of Britain, Strathclyde, with territory extending from the Solway
to the Clyde, was then established with Dumbarton, the fortified hill of the Britains, as
capitol. From the fifth to the ninth century there was strife between the king of

43

Strathclyde and the rulers of rival Scottish kingdoms, such as North and South Pictland,
Dalriada, and the powerful kingdom of Northumbria. In the year 1018 all Scotland be¬
came a United Kingdom under the rule of Malcolm II, King of Alba.

Up to the middle of the eleventh century, the Celtic Chief on Dunlop Hill ruled his
tribe much in the manner of his forbears.

When Malcolm II annexed Strathclyde, he made himself a feudal monarch like the
other kings in Europe, and as such assigned the lands within Scotland to men of Norman,
Saxon, and Danish ancestry. The Norman baron established himself by building a
castle on the best site within the bounds of his new estate, a spot almost always al¬
ready occupied by the castle of the Celtic Chief. In such cases the Celt had to yield to
the Norman, but he was appeased by full recompense in other ways.

Godfrey de Ross was the feudal baron sent to Dunlop. According to custom, he took
possession of Dunlop Hill. Dunlop of Dunlop was dispossessed of his ancestral strong¬
hold; but he was given private ownership of lands under the vassalage of de Ross, with
sanction to build a castle. He moved to the banks of the Clerkland Burn which divides
the parish of Dunlop from Stewarton. There he built his castle on the beautiful site
where Dunlop House now stands. Thus the Celtic Chief became the Norman Knight
with his red and white standard flying from the turrel of his castle.

The first of the name “Dunlop” (or Dunlap) found in a written record is Dom
Gulielmus de Dunlop whose name was mentioned in a notarial copy of a search of title
in a cause betwixt the Burg of Ilr vine and Dom Godfrey de Ross regarding lands held by
them from de Ross. The title Dom (Dominus) was used to designate a lord, a baron or
a peer. It at this early date (1260), William de Dunlop was a Scottish peer, it may be
reasonably assumed that he had a long line of noble ancestry behind him.

In the year 1509 Henry VHI, the “Merry Monarch” came to the throne of England.

The Scots did not share the spirit of the flamboyant and rambunctious Tudors. North
of the Border, the Scottish Barons now saw an opportunity to make another valiant
struggle for freedom against the domination of England.

At Flodden Field in 1513, the Scots met the English army of picked men under the
leadership of the Earl of Surrey. On that tragic day, King James and the flower of
Scottish Knighthood was slain. The Rosses and the Cunninghams, the Dunlops and the
Hannas were there. No one ran away. The knights and their squires, hopelessly out¬
done by the superiour armament of the English, stood and died through the long

44

afternoon, until the setting sun saw Flodden Field stained red with their blook. Sir
Walter Scott (1771-1832), a descendant from the Dunlops of Garnkirk, tells of the last
heroic stand made by the Scots guarding their king.

“But yet, though thick the shafts as snow,

Though charging knights like whirlwinds go,

Though bill- men ply the ghastly bow,

Unbroken was the ring;

The stubborn spear- men still made good
Their dark impenetrable wood,

Each stepping where his comrade stood
The instant that he fell.

“No thought was there of dastard flight!

Linked in the serried phalanx tight,

Groom fought like noble, squire like knight
As fearlessly and well,

Till utter darkness closed her wing
O’er their thin host and wounded king.”

A look into the Privy Council Register of Ayrshire reveals a state of lawlessness
prevailing during the close of the 16th century among the Dunlops and other contem¬
porary families of that district. James Dunlop, in particular, had two sons, James and
Allan, who are described as unruly youths. Allan, the younger, had the “original
wickedness” to perpetrate a piracy on the coast of Fairlie. This adventure of a party
of fast young fellows, as recorded in the Privy Council Register, (translated into
modern English) is as follows:

“A shipmaster from Brittany named Lyon, master of a cargo ship, Perundaill, ar¬
rived at the port of Irwin last October. Having discharged a part of his cargo of coarse
salt and other merchandise, lyon anchored his ship at Fairlie whilst he went into town
to deal with the merchants. At midnight that night Allan Dunlop, with a gang of youths,
about twenty in number, did board the ship, Lyon, and sail her to Lamlash Bay on the
Isle of Arran where they set ashore the poor mariners of the crew. Allan Dunlop and
his crew of scapegraces then took full command of the PerundailPs wine bunkers. Af¬
ter a jolly carousal with a piper on board, they cruised around the Isle of Arran. When
the lads had had their fill of wine and jollity they landed again in Lamlash Bay. Here

45

they delivered the ship to the poor mariners who had been left freezing on the beach the
night long. At dawn the youths went to their respective places of abode rejoycing in the
successful issue of their piratical adventure.”

The unruly youths were duly cited to appear before the Privy Council, but they failed
to show up, and so were denounced as rebels, that being the end of the matter.

About the year 1600, the historian and archeologist, Timothy Pont, visited the castle
at Dunlop. His description of the place is interesting. “Dunlop ane ancient stronge
hous fortified with a deipe foussie of water and planted with goodly orchards it is also
named Hunthall because say they the ancient possessor thereof was huntsman to
Godofred de Ross. The quholl hounds and grounds heiraboute and all Macharnoch
Moore was of old a mighty forrest it belongs to James Dunloppe of thet fame and chief
of hes name.”

The Dunlop who was the “ancient possessor” of Hunthall was made Huntsman to de
Ross, a position accounted to be of high honour. When Pont visited the castle, however,
the owner was James Dunloppe who had rebuilt or restored the ancient structure. Over
the door of the great hall of the castle, James had placed a stone bearing the date
“1599” and the inscription, “O Lord Let Ever Thy Blessingis Remain - Vithin Yis
Hous.” The monogram in the circle is that of James and his wife, Jean Somerville.

Pont also mentioned the church built near the castle. “Dunloppe Kirk,” prettily
seatted at ye confluence of 3 small brookes.”

The Dunlops belonged to the Covenanters, those heroic Scots who bound themselves
in solemn covenant to uphold their Presbyterian faith and resist to the death all those
who tried to force them to change it. During the reign of Charles II (1660-1685) Cove¬
nanters who gathered secretly in glens and caves to worship God were hunted like
animals with bugle and bloodhound. When caught they were hanged or drowned without
mercy.

James Dunlop was imprisoned in 1665 along with other Ayrshire lads for active re¬
sistance to the Church of England. After two years Dunlop was freed. He then set
about securing his property by making over part of it to the Earl of Dundonald to avoid
forfeiture. Alexander, son of James Dunlop, also suffered imprisonment for the Cause.
After being freed, Alexander emigrated to America, that haven of the persecuted, to
escape the danger that threatened every staunch Covenanter during the “Killing Times.”

In the year 1684, Sir John Dunlop, Baronet, son of Alexander, secured the lands that

46

his father had settled on him before leaving for America. In the following year, John
received back the lands previously conveyed to the Earl of Bundonald. These large
estates were consolidated into the Barony of Dunlop. On the old site of the Norman
Castle, Sir John built the stately mansion known as “Dunlop House.” An interesting
description of the place is given by a young man, one of the Dunlop family, who visited
the estate. He is Robert D. White, son of the author, who visited the Dunlop mansion
while serving in the U. S. Army 8th Air Force, August, 1945. He wrote:

“It was a grand August day when I set out to visit the Dunlop Estate. The country¬
side was green and rich looking with a little burn running noisily along the road. I
walked for quite a distance until I came to some gates and a Lodge House. This marked
the entrance to the Estate. From then on the road let into a forest of oaks, evergreens,
maples, and chestnuts. The path of the wood was verdant with ferns and grass, and a
carpet of fallen leaves. I walked and walked but could see no sign of a house. The for¬
est reminded me of the one in Sherwood where Robin Hood and his merrie men exacer¬
bated the Sheriff of Nottingham. It must have been three quarters of a mile, after many
turnings through the woods, I espied the tall chimneys of the house. The mansion was a
beautiful Tudor architecture and had more than a hundred rooms. The roof was a for¬
est of chimneys and gables and turrets. Tennis courts were located at the back of the
mansion and well kept lawns and gardens adorned the front areas. The interior of the
mansion with its grand staircase, its polished floors and its elegant, handcarved ceil¬
ings spoke of the grandeur of the House of Dunlop.”

From 1748 to 1784, another Dunlop lived in the Mansion House. He married Frances
Ann, the daughter of Sir Thomas Wallace of Craigie. Frances Ann Dunlop was always
proud of her descent from Sir William Wallace, the champion of Scottish freedom.

Later she herself, was to become famous as the friend and patron of Robert Burns
(1759-1796). In Rev. John F. Bayne’s “Dunlop Parish,” we read: “It was the Cotter’s
Saturday Night that opened the heart and home of this noble lady to Burns. While in a
state of nervous prostration, following a severe illness, a copy of the Kilmarnock Edi¬
tion of Burn’s poems came into her hands. The poem so uplifted her spirits as to re¬
store her harmony and peace of mind. She forthwith wrote to Burns. So began the cor¬
respondence that ended only with the poet’s death. The last use he made of his
immortal pen was a short letter to her a few days before he died.”

Mrs. Dunlop of Dunlop lived a life full of kindness and good works. She had a large
family of children, eight sons and four daughters.

47

The last of the Dunlops to be born in their ancestral home were John, born 1904, and
Alexander James, born 1906. Their mother, descended from James Dunlop of the
Garnkirk branch, was the wife of Brigadier General Houison Crawford. Mrs. Crawford
in herited the Dunlop Estate and did much for the welfare of the Dunlop Church and the
entire parish. She did a great service to dairy farming in Ayrshire by converting the
home farm into a model farm and introducing a fine herd of certified cows, and by
pioneering in the production of pure mild from tuberculin-tested and certified herds.

As times changed and property taxes increased, Dunlop House, like many other
great houses, became a burden instead of an asset to the owners. So the Dunlop Estate
was sold to Ayrshire County Council in 1933, to be used as a home for orphan children.

Meanwhile, for many generations, Dunlops had gone forth from Dunlop Parish to all
parts of the Empire, and to every land under the sun. Thus new branches of this an¬
cient, noble, and prolific family sprung up in distant parts of the globe.

As time passed the vicissitudes of fortune caused some branches of the family to
lose their landed estates. Under the British law, designed to keep estates intact, land
was inherited only by the eldest son. Younger members of great families were thus left
to shift for themselves. Daughters, if possible, were married off. Otherwise they con¬
tinued to live on at the old home place dependent upon the bounty of their oldest brother.
Every household had these spinsters who really did spin. Besides this they helped with
household tasks and cared for the children, and often were regarded as little better than
servants.

Younger sons of noble families went into professions or trades, or emigrated to the
Colonies to seek their fortunes. Prominent families in the United States of America or
British Canada bearing the name of Dunlop or Dunlap testify to the courage and ability
of those younger sons who came West in early days. Some of the younger sons, how¬
ever, clung stubbornly to their native heath and, as freeholders, continued to farm a
few acres which were enclosures of big estates.

Many of these men added to their incomes by working at spinning and hand weaving
in the home or by engaging in some other form of industry such as boat-building or the
milling of grain.

Among the Dunlops who remained in their native land was James Dunlop. He was
one of the hundreds of Dunlops who, over the centuries, had made their way north to the
county of Renfrew which adjoins Ayrshire wherein the town of Dunlop is situated.

48

County records of Renfrew in the 18th century reveal that a certain James Dunlop,
Miller, lived in the ancient hamlet of Dovecothall about the year 1730. James Dunlop
had four sons, James n, Robert, William, and Henry. How many daughters were born
to James and his wife, no one will ever know. Sons were the only children whose
births were recorded in “the good old days.”

DESCENDANTS OF JAMES DUNLOP OF NEILSTON,

COUNTY OF REFREW, SCOTLAND*

Being the Mary Freda Dunlop White Line of Oakland, California.

The following information was taken from the Scots Ancestry Research Council Re¬
port.

The earliest reference I can find to your family is in the old Parochial Register of
Neilston in the County of Refrew, where James (I) Dunlop, Milner, ie., miller, at
Doucat Miln (Dovecot Mill) had the following children:

Robert, born March 18, 1739.

William, born March 15, 1741.

Henry, born May 10, 1747.

There is unfortunately a blank in the Register just before this, which would account
for the fact that his eldest son, James (II) is not recorded, but there is an entry of his
marriage as follows: - James Dunlop (H) lawful son to James Dunlop of this Parish
and Helen Witherspoon in the Abbey, Parish of Paisley, married August 26, 1761.

They had a son, James (IH), born June 25, and baptised June 27, 1762.

This James (in) married Barbara Patterson and had a son, James (IV): born
March 27 and baptised April 17, 1790. James (IV) married Mary Wilson of the same
parish (Neilston) on October 9, 1829. The name of the minister was Rev. Alexander
Fleming. They had issue:

THE DUNLAPS*

Reverend Alexander Dunlop, M.A. Line

This branch of the Dunlop (Dunlap) Family came to British-America from Camp-
bellton, Ayrshire, Scotland. One branch of the Dunlap Clan in Scotland changed its
name to Campbell because of the Chieftain whom they served. The present Duke of
Ayrshire is of the original Dunlap Family.**

Rev. Alexander Dunlop, M.A.

Rev. Dunlop was the famous Presbyterian clergyman at Paisley, Scotland (1644-
1677). He married Elisabeth Mure, a granddaughter of Rev. Hans Hamilton, minister
of Dunlop. Rev. Dunlop belonged to the Dunlops of Auchenskaith. Their son was:

Rev. Prof. William Dunlap (1654-1703)***

He was licensed to preach in Glasgow, Scotland, 1679, but that country was in such
a turmoil that he left and came to the Carolinas in British-America, remaining until
1690. Then he returned to Scotland and was appointed Principal of the University of
Glasgow by King William HI (1689-1702). Think of the life of his wife during those
years of turmoil that would compel them to leave the home of a University Principal in
Glasgow to come to American wilderness, the land of Indians, the dangers and the en¬
during hardships! Yet this was God’s way. Rev. William Dunlap and his wife, Sarah
Car stairs Dunlap, had three sons, all University of Glasgow men. Rev. Alexander
Dunlop (1682-1747) was Professor of Greek; his grandson was Rev. Alexander Dunlop

* This material was compiled by Miss Olivia Gertrude Dunlap of 1430 South East Street,
Jacksonville, Illinois, May 7, 1955; Miss Ruth A. Campbell of 517 Atlantic Street, Corpus
Christi, Texas, June 20, 1955; and Rev. Hanna.

** Miss Ruth A. Campbell states: “No where on our Dunlap line do we have a Dunlop. In a
letter from the Duke of Argyl, he stresses the difference in these lines, and states also that
Dunlap were Highlanders of Clan Campbell and Dunlop were lowlanders.”

*** Other sources say Rev. Prof. William Dunlop was born in 1649 and died 1700. Consult

of Keppoch (1766-1840). Rev. William Dunlap (1692-1720) was born in Scotland and
was a Professor of Church History in the University of Edinburgh at a later date. Rev.
John Dunlop (1684- ) was a Professor of Greek in the University of Glasgow as is

shown on the old tombstone in Augusta, Virginia; he was born in the Carolinas, and re¬
turned with his parents to Scotland in 1690. Rev. John Dunlop married Nancy Colvin, in
Scotland, and returned to British- America, settling finally in Augusta County, Virginia.

Major William Dunlap (1743-1816)

Rev. John and Nancy Colvin Dunlap had William, who was born July 23, 1743, and
died in Kentucky, March 5, 1816. He served as a major in the Revolutionary War, until
the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, October, 1783, when the war with Great Britain was
considered virtually at an end. The old musket that Major William Dunlap carried in
the war is still in the possession of one branch of the family living in Kentucky. This
is mentioned in a letter now in the possession of Samuel M. Duncan, Esq., of Nicholas-
ville, Kentucky, which reads as follows:

“Major William Dunlap,

The musket which you carried in the war for Liberty was left by your boys at my
house during the Christmas Holidays. Your boys and my boys had a good time
shooting turkeys and firing off guns before Daylight to waken the neighbours. The
bayonet in the gun was broken by carelessness. I will bring the gun to Lexington
next week.

Your friend,

William Price.”

When he was mustered out he held the rank of major. There is a tradition authenticated
by letters in the possession of an old archaeologist in Kentucky that Major William
Dunlap was in the street with Edward Payne when in an altercation with George Wash¬
ington, who was then a Colonel, he struck him using (gassing) in his field notes speaks
of the saying that Washington afterward acknowledged himself in the wrong and apolo¬
gised hands only to Payne.

Major William Dunlap married Rebecca Robertson, a lady of Scottish descent. She
was the daughter of James and Elisabeth Crawford Robertson who came to Virginia
about 1735 from Scotland by way of North Ireland; they settled about one mile from

53

Staunton, Virginia, where Rebecca, their sixth child was born. Rebecca Robertson
Dunlap was born in Augusta County, Virginia, July 23, 1751, and died in Kentucky,
November 7, 1849. They were the parents of nine children: Rev. James, Jane, William,
Rebecca, Elisabeth, George, Alexander C., John R., and Patsy.

Of the five sons, two served their country. Alexander Dunlap voluntered as a private
in the War of 1812 and was captured at Dudley’s defeat, May 7, 1813. He commanded a
company in the Seminole War, also the detachment that captured St. Mark’s in April 7,
1818, taking prisoners Arbuthnot and Aubereramble. He was Grand Master of the
Grand Lodge of Illinois in 1843 and was Commander Major in the United States Army
in 1846, Vera Cruz, March 28, 1847. He died in Jacksonville, Illinois, November 11,
1853, and is buried in the Dunlap Lot in Dramond Grove Cemetery.

The other son who saw service was Colonel John Robertson Dunlap. He served in
the Black Hawk War. He died near Lexington, Kentucky, July 3, 1834, and is buried
there.

Rev. James Dunlap (1773-1866)

He was a Baptist minister. He had been reared and educated a Presbyterian and
was a devoted member of that Church until his marriage at the age of 21, he entered
the Church of his wife’s father and began preaching in the frontier wilderness of
Kentucky. Rev. James Dunlap was the first Dunlap in Jacksonville, Morgan County,
Illinois. He was born in Augusta County, Virginia, July 10, 1773, and died in Jackson¬
ville, Illinois, February 28, 1866, in his 93rd year. At the age of 11 years he went
with his father’s family to Kentucky. He married Emily Johnson August 29, 1784 in
Kentucky. She was born in Virginia, October 15, 1777, and died in Jacksonville, Illinois,
March 13, 1848, at the age of 70 years, 4 months, and 27 days.

Rev. James Dunlap, after his marriage, resided several years near Urbana, Ohio.
Several of his sons emigrated to Jacksonville, Illinois. In 1844, he moved to Jackson¬
ville and lived surrounded by most of all the members of his family. He was the father
of 13 children who lived to be grown men and women. He was a minister in the Baptist
Church for more than 50 years. He was blessed by his numerous and highly favoured
posterity, consisting at the time of his death: 13 children, 83 grandchildren, 106 great¬
grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren. The children of Rev. James Dunlap
and his wife, Emily Johnson Dunlap were: William, Rebecca, Mary, John, James,

54

Elisabeth, Nancy, Edward, Jeptha, Stephen, George A., Samuel, Minerva.

One of his sisters, Patsy, born June 13, 1798, married Archibald Henderson in
Kentucky; later they moved to Illinois and raised a family. Patsy Dunlap Henderson
died in Illinois, July 3, 1834, leaving several children, all girls, except William
Henderson, who died about 1940.

There are many descendants of Rev. James Dunlap in Champaign County, Ohio, as
well as in Fayette and Bourbon Counties, Kentucky. A large number of grand -children
and great-grandchildren are located in and near Urbana, Ohio.

The children of John Dunlap (son of Rev. James Dunlap) and grandchildren reside
in Lexington, Kentucky. Many Dunlaps in Virginia, Missouri, and Pennsylvania are
descendants of Major William Dunlap or are closely related. They are prominent and
outstanding men and women, leaders in public education, and spending freely their
hard-earned money and time for other public affairs.

Colonel James Dunlap held the School for the Deaf and Blind in his private home
until the state could erect a building. They built The Dunlap Hotel in 1856, and The
New Dunlap Hotel was built by a descendant. In 1845-1846, the State Hospital was built.
The first Board of Directors consisted of Colonel James Dunlap, Judge William
Thomas, Owen M. Long, and Joseph Martin, great-uncles of Miss Olivia Gertrude
Dunlap. The School of Deaf and Blind followed.

lovely tribute to “Miss Nettie” which was given at the Commencement
Exercises of Ruffn'er School, Lexington, Virginia, June 3, 1954:

“For forty-eight years boys and girls in Lexington have looked up to ‘Miss
Nettie’. No other person in this town has had such a deep influence upon so
many people. Her pupils have learned far more in her classroom than can
be found in history books or grammars. They have learned good manners
and the spirit of citizenship. They have gotten a broader vision of their
world. They have been shown what fair play and helpfulness mean. Through
all these, in no secretarian fashion, they have been led to see the reverence
for God and respect for other people are the crowning elements of a true
education. Some of this they have gotten through the formal lessons she
has taught them; but the best of it has come from the contagion of a strong
and sweet and loving personality. All who come in contact with her have
felt the warmth of her affection; but the boys and girls who have had most
need of help have known her as a wise and patient friend. Through the
years hundreds of them will rise up and call her blessed.”

CHAPTER II

Dunlap Ancestry

Dunlops (Dunlaps) In British- Americ
or the United States of America

CHAPTER II

1. DUNLAP ANCESTRY
compiled by Mrs. Esther Mae Winget Warner

May, 1955

In the lineage “The Adamic Line of Descent,” found in the book “Know Your Ancestors,”
by George Jewett and Company, 1931, we find that the Dunlaps can be traced back to
Adam.

This line begins with Adam and Eve, the twelfth generation being Magog (Genesis
10:2). The Old Irish Chronicles 1: 15 states that Magog was contemporary with the
building of Ninevah.

An ancient record, according to the Book of Invasion of Ireland, “Cin Droma Sneachta”
which existed when St. Patrick came to Ireland, says Magog had three sons, one named
Baath was father of Fenius Farsdaidh (2000) who ruled as King of Scythia (Keating, Vol.

I, p. 227). The lineage comes down to Heremon, generation No. 37, who with seven
brothers and his Mother, Scota II, left for Ireland around 1560 B.C. He had previously
been in Egypt with his parents and while there married a Jewish Princess of the House
of David, a daughter of Zedekiah, named Circa. Circa is said to have taken the “Stone
of Destiny” (lia Fail) which to this day rests under the Coronation Chair in England.

Queen Victoria and all succeeding English sovereigns from 1272 have been crowned on
this chair. It was brought from Scotland by King Edward I, 1296. The monarchs of An¬
cient Scotland and Ireland were crowned upon this stone. This is the stone of which
Jacob pillowed his head when he had the vision, and later set up at Bethel (House of God).
Later all kings of Judah were crowned upon it. At the time of the Babylonian Captivity,
Jeremiah rescued it and also the Princess Circa, who later married Heremon, son of
Milesius. She went with him to Spain, then to Ireland, taking the Stone with her. All the
kings of Ireland were crowned, sitting on this stone until 424 A.D. when Fergus, the
great King of Scotland, a descendant of Heremon and Circa, borrowed it and had it taken
to Scotland (90 A.D.). It was used in Scotland for Coronations until Malcolm’s (the slayer
of Macbeth) time. His descendant, Edward I, conquered Scotland, 1296, and removed the

81

stone to London, England, where it has since remained.

The lineage comes down from Heremon to Aenaes Furneach (Fairneach), 384 B.C.,
the 81st King of Ireland. He was a good king and reigned many years. He left two sons,
Enna, from whom descended most of the kings of Ireland, and Faighaor Fiach, who was
the ancestor of the kings of Scotland in Argyle and Dalrioda, and of Mac Dunsleible -
Dunlop, Dunlap, Dunlape, and Dulape, etc.

References given in the book are as follows: “The Holy Bible”; “Irish Chronicles;*
“Psalter of Tara”, collected at Tata by King Cormac Ulfhada (King 227-266 A.D., and
Eithrial, King of Ireland (the 11th) B.C., between 1500 and 1400: he wrote, in his own
hand the “History of the Gails, “his ancestors; Keating’s “History,” Vol. I; “Prominent
Virginia Families,” by Dubelle, Vol. II; “History of England and Great Britain,” Arthur
Lyon Cross, 1920.

Extracts from “Irish Pedigrees” by O’Hart as given in “The Annuals of Ulidia-An-
cient Ireland,” state: “Aeneas Fairneach, the 81st monarch of Ireland, who is the 66th
in line from Heremon, had a son named Fiach Feumara, who was the ancestor of the
kings of Argyle and Dalrioda in Scotland. He was also the ancestor of Mac Dunsleible
and O’Dunsleible (English) Dunleavy, Don Levi, Dunlevy, Conlevy, Dunlop, Delop, Dunlief,
Livingston, and Levanston. On down to the 110th king is given. He was Dunsleible or
Dunslieve (from which are Mac Dunsleible and O’Dunsleible). His sons Connor and Rory
were the 53rd and 54th Christian kings and also kings of Ulidia. Descendants of this
family passed into Scotland after the invasion of Ireland, and there changed the name to
Dunlief and Dunlop and even Livingston. Their name traces back to 1260 when Dom
Gulielmus de Dunlop was Lord Dunlop in Ayrshire, the estate still in possession of the
family.”

The following is taken from a book of the Dunlop Family which was written by William
Dunlop, Esq. 1720; it is now owned by Mrs. John B. Yost of 402 East Walnut Street,
Shelbina, Missouri: “( (Rev.) ) Alexander Dunlop, minister of the Gospel at Paisley, a
person of considerable note for piety, learning, zeal, and credit in the Kirk of Scotland.

He had a son William, who became Principal of the College of Glasgow. William Dunlop
had a greatness of spirit that few could equal. He gave proof of it in that undaunted reso¬
lution and fortitude of mind, with which he bare persecution and hardship to which he
exposed for conscience sake and which sent him as an exile as far as the America
Plantations. Here he was a great encouragement and supporter of his countrymen and

82

fellow suffers who went along with him. Under the conduct of King William of ever glori¬
ous memory, Rev. Dunlop returned to Scotland and was by the favour of that Prince pro¬
moted to the Station of Principal of Glasgow College. The authority with which he gov¬
erned that learned Society and the respect paid him by roaster and scholar was an un¬
doubted evidence of his great ability. When the Kirk of Scotland, anno 1694, sent a depu¬
tation of their number to wait on His Majesty, King William, to negotiate some of the af¬
fairs of the Church at Court, Rev. Dunlop was one of them and very deservedly for he
was remarkable for his public spiritedness and exerted himself always with uncommon
viguor and activity for the general interest of the Kir. He died 1700 and left a widow and
three sons, Alexander, the eldest, a worthy gentleman, and Professor in the University
of Glasgow; the second son died soon after his father; and William, the youngest died
October 29, 1720.”

Alexander Dunlop, Soldier (cir. 1689)

It is a known fact that the Dunlap family were landed gentry of Celtic (Keltic) origin
and were not of Norman or Saxon ancestry. The father of Alexander Dunlop was Alex¬
ander Dunlop, a member of the Dunlop Cadets (Dunlop of Dunlop, some say Dunlops of
Garnkirk), and served through the Londonderry Siege (April- July 1689). He migrated to
Ulster, the northern part of Ireland, from which Oliver Cromwell had driven the Roman
Catholic Irish and had opened it to Presbyterianism. The settlers were largely Scotch;
there were lesser numbers of English and French Huguenots. The Londonderry Defence
was against the last Roman Catholic King of England, James II (1685-1689).

Captain Alexander Dunlop (1716-1744)

Captain Alexander Dunlop (1716-1744) came first to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, then
travelled southward into the Shenandoah Valley at the head of the James River. He be¬
came the first owner of Goshen Pass, then called Dunlap Gap. His land consisted of the
pasture region known as the Great Calf Pasture River (Greenbriar River). This was the
furthermost settlement in Virginia at that time. In 1743, the Indians were threatening the
Valley and his Fort (all houses were forts') being the most extended on the frontier, he
was commissioned “Captain of the Horse,” of the Virginia Militia.

Captain Dunlop married Anne Mac Far lane (1715-1786), a daughter of Caleb Mac Far-
lane, the last Chief of Clan MacFarlane in Scotland. To this union were born four

83

children: John, Robert, Alexander, and Elisabeth. He died in 1744 and the widow married
Capt. Robert Bratton. Captain Dunlop left personal property valued at $811.48. The
name now was spelled Dunlap (the “a” replacing the “o”).

William, Captain James, Hugh, all related to Captain Alexander Dunlop came to
British -America about the same time. William and James settled in Augusta County,

Va., and Hugh went to Tennessee. Captain Dunlop’s brothers were Samuel, Robert, John,
and David.

The Dunlap family is one of the oldest and most distinguished of the Scotch and Scotch-
Irish Presbyterian families of the middle -east states and of the South. From these early
settlers have come many prominent descendants. This family was one of the largest
landholders in the South and have furnished more clergyman than any other family. Many
physicians have also come from this ancient clan as well as nurses and missionaries,
politicians and college professors.

Because of the social and political prominence of the Dunlaps - these Dunlap, Gay,
Warwick, Hanna, MacKee connexions have been stated to be one of the families of
largest land-holdings in the Virginia Valley, if not the largest.

The Dunlaps of Virginia and Kentucky constituted an interesting family of people in
the early era of the history of both commonwealths. Conspicuous as large land-owners,
for professional men, military men, and clergymen.

In Kentucky they intermarried with the families of many pioneer settlers. Tradition
is that the Dunlaps, Gays, Hannas, Stevensons were the first settlers of Woodford County,
being there before 1784, Other families were Kinkeads, Elliotts, Clarks, Hamiltons,
Campbells, Carlyles, Kicklines, Lockridges, Meeks, Macllbaine, Mortons, Allens, and
Meeks.

John Dunlap (1738-1804)

Captain Alexander Dunlop’s house stood on the site now occupied by the Alleghany Inn
at Goshen. John Dunlap, oldest son of Captain Dunlop, lived in Rockbridge County and
was the largest land-owner in the county. He also owned 7,000 acres of land in Kentucky
and Ohio at the time of his death. His Virginia land included a half interest in the Rock¬
bridge Alum Springs, now a famous southern resort. His Kentucky land was very valu¬
able and is still owned by a descendant as is his Ohio holdings.

John Dunlap was an explorer in southern Ohio in 1776. The land he purchased in Ohio

84

included Old Chillicothe (now Frankfort, Ohio), capitol of the Indians of North-west Terri¬
tory. He married Anne Clark, the daughter of James Clark and kinswoman of General
George Rogers Clark “The Hannibal of the West”, and his brother William of the Lewis
and Clark Expedition. The Clarks, an old Scotch family, were frequent visitors at the
Dunlap home.

Soon after the Revolutionary War, John Dunlap erected a large three story brick house
on the present site of Victoria Furnace, near Goshen. He died in 1804. His will is re¬
corded in Rockbridge County, Va., and in Ross County, Ohio, where his children were
living. Anne Clark Dunlap’s Will is recorded in Rockbridge County, Va., in 1809, as are
her father’s and mother’s, James and Elisabeth Clark.

Among some of the distinguished descendants of John and Anne Clark Dunlap are:
Professor Robert E. Young, leader in southern education; Renick Dunlap, former As¬
sistant U. S. Secretary of Agriculture, and many others.

John Dunlap III (1811-1879)

John Dunlap II was a pioneer in Ohio. He was a surveyor, 1796, with his cousin
James Dunlap, also a distinguished Ohio pioneer. John Dunlap married Dorcas Dowell,
a niece of Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) and moved to Ross County, Ohio, 1825. Here
he erected a large brick house burning the brick on the farm. His house still stands on
a ridge west of the Scioto River and is owned by descendants. Four brick houses were
erected along this ridge on four adjoining farms and three are still owned by descendants,
the fourth having been given to a tenant by the last Dunlap owner who was a bachelor.

This later farm was formerly owned by James Dunlap (born 1769), who erected the
house prior to 1815, the oldest of the four.

John Dunlap III was born in Rockbridge County Virginia in 1811 and came to Ohio at
the age of 14. He attended school at the Old Field Schools in Virginia. He was a suc¬
cessful farmer and stock raiser. He died in 1879. He married Mary Ann Minear who
was born in 1818 and died in 1924 at the age of 106.

Charles, the son of John Dunlap III, succeeded to the ownership of the old home con¬
sisting of 185 acres. He also owned 320 acres in North Dakota. The old home is still
owned by his children.

85

John Nelson Dunlap (1845-1942)

Nelson Dunlap, son of John and Mary Ann Minear Dunlap, was one of the foremost
farmers and stockmen in Pickaway County, Ohio. He was an extensive land-owner and
played an important part in the development of farms; he was a model in all respects.

He raised horses and other fine stock. He was conspicuous in politics and civic life of
the section. He attended Mount Pleasant Academy, later a commercial college at
Chillicothe, Ohio, where he took a business course and taught two terms. He joined the
Navy, Nov. 19, 1863, and was a member of the Mississippi Squadron. Previously he was
a scout for General Morgan. In 1863 he was detailed to the Paymaster Department and
had charge of stores, clothing, etc. He was a purser-stewart for the balance of his term.
He was discharged January 1, 1865, and took up farming. He owned 900 acres of land
and dealt heavily in stock-feeding. He was a man of wealth, a leader of finances in this
part of the state. He was Vice-President and Director of the Scioto Valley Eank, Kings¬
ton, Ohio, and President of Kingston Tile Company. He was often a delegate to Republi¬
can District and State Conventions. He was the first elected Treasurer in the township
and was chairman of the local Grange, and held all the various offices at some time. He
married Elisabeth Bell, a daughter of Hugh and Lavina Renick Bell in 1867.

Renick Dunlap (1872-1945)

Renick W. Dunlap, son of Nelson, graduated from Ohio State and went into politics.

He was an Ohio State Football Star and Captain of the team in 1895 and active henceforth
in the Alumni. His son, Nelson, was first Star’s son to win Varsity “O”. Renick Dunlap
maintained his farm and raised fine cattle as a hobby. In 1907-1911 he was Food Com¬
missioner, a member of the Senate in 1915, and was Secretary of Agriculture in the State.
In 1925 he was appointed Assistant Secretary of Agriculture under President John Calvin
Coolidge and served also under President Herbert Clark Hoover. He operated the Congo
Stock Farm, Kingston, Ohio. He was a member of the 76th Assembly, 1904-1905; Dairy
and Food Commissioner for Ohio, 1907-1911; and an advocate of enforcement of pure
food laws bringing about the commercial food-stuff law in Ohio.

Major Dunlap (1814-1876)

Major Dunlap, son of John and Dorcas Dowell Dunlap, was born in Virginia and moved

86

to Ohio with his parents, 1825. He married, first, Martha MacCollister, by whom he had
one daughter, Mary. Martha died and Major married, second Ellen Goodman, the daugh¬
ter of David and Elisabeth Cullum Goodman, great-granddaughter of George and Cather¬
ine Gouger Goodman. Catherine Gouger is recorded as the first white woman to have
lived in Ohio and left known issue.

“The Chillicothe Register” reported at the time of his death: “But few men in Ross
County, Ohio, were better known than Major Dunlap. His reputation was that of a highly
honourable, upright, generous man, a possessor of considerable wealth. He was a cheery
and generous friend with a heart liberally inclined and was easily moved to acts of practi¬
cal sympathy.” “The Christian Union Paper,” reported: “He was a grand and noble man,
of great wealth which he used to do good and advance the cause of Bible Gospel Unity.

He was fair and true in his religious beliefs.” His home was the stopping place of minis¬
ters, generally, and no difference who they were, they were never turned from his hospi¬
table board. If he met a man along the highway in need, he sent him to the house for
food or work. His wife, Ellen, could always find some chore for them.

Major Dunlap subscribed liberally to the stock of the Scioto Valley and the Dayton and
Southern Railroads. He owned most of the stock in the Louisville Turnpike, upon which
his house was located and which he and a brother built at their own expense in order to
have a road to transport their produce to market. The old toll-house, on his land, is
still in use, now being used as a tenant house. He also invested largely in the Chillicothe
and Clarksburg Turnpike, also a toll road. Considering the nature of his principal
business he got along with remarkable smoothness, very seldom engaging in litigation.

He met his death by being thrown from a horse when leading a colt by a halter fastened
to his foot in March, 1876. He left a widow and five small children well provided for.
Besides his home farm he left each child about 200 acres. His widow, being a good
business woman, managed all the farms until each child became of age when he took
over his own farm.

Ensign Robert Dunlap (1740-1781)

Robert Dunlap, seond son of Captain Alexander and Anne Mac Far lane Dunlop, lived
in Aspen Grove, Rockbridge County, Virginia. He furnished money for the MacConnells
to found MacConnell Station (now Lexington, Kentucky) for which he was to receive 500
acres of the present site of the city. This Estate was lost to his heirs in Court, by a

87

Decision of the Court of Appeals in Kentucky, 1805. He served as Ensign in the company
of his half-brother, Captain James Bratton of “Rock Rest” Bath County, Virginia, who
later became Major Bratton. Robert lost his life at the Battle of Guilford Court House
because he refused to obey orders to retreat. He married, 1763, Mary Gay, a daughter
of Rev. William and Mary Walkup Gay of Ulster and Virginia.

Robert Dunlap and his father-in-law brought the first improved cattle and first
thoroughbred horses to Kentucky. His daughter, Anne (born 1765) married David McKee
(MacKay) of Jessimine County, Kentucky, one of the founders and Ruling Elders of the Old
Cedar Creek Presbyterian Church.

Among the descendants of Robert Dunlap are: Rev. James W. Bashford, Methodist
Episcopal Bishop in China, author, and President of Ohio Wesleyan University; James W.
MacMurty, archaeologist; Robert Bashford, Dean of Law School of the University of
Wisconsin; Boutwell Dunlap, historian, eugenist of California; Rev. E. O. Brown, Church
historian of Vanderbuilt University; Rev. W. W. Morrison, D.D., missionary to Africa
who stirred up foreign governments to action against the Congo atrocities; Rev. Graham
Gordon, Presbyterian clergyman in Kentucky; Rev. James Arthur MacClellan Hanna,
Presbyterian clergyman in Ohio.

Alexander Dunlap (1743-1828)

Alexander Dunlap, son of Alexander and Anne MacFarlane Dunlap, was born in 1743
in Rockbridge County, Virginia. He settled in Greenbrier, now Pocahantas County, West
Va. He removed, about 1783, to Woodford County, Kentucky, and opened a sugar camp.

He was the founder of the famous Pisgah Presbyterian Church and Academy, the fore¬
runner of Transylvania University. Woodford County, Kentucky is called “the asparagus
patch” of Kentucky and is the most aristocratic county in that state. Alexander was an
Indian fighter and built the Clover Lick Fort which he later sold to his cousin, Major
Jacob Warwick when he moved to Kentucky. He married Agnes Gay, a daughter of James
and Jean Warwick Gay. After her death, 1804, he removed to Ohio (Brown County),
where he lived with his children until his death in 1828. He is buried in the Red Oak
Presbyterian Cemetery.

Samuel Stevenson, brother-in-law to Colonel Alexander Dunlap, gave the land for
Pisgah Church which was founded by Colonel Dunlap. In Brown County, Ohio, he founded

88

the Dunlap Church. Although a Ruling Elder, he became so impressed with the interpre¬
tation of Rev. Alexander Campbell’s teachings of the Holy Writ that he became a member
of his Church and made the new Church the first, or one of the first, to be used by the
Disciples of Christ in Ohio.

In 1795, Alexander Dunlap and Major Samuel Stevension explored southern Ohio. On
one of these trips he was accompanied by Allen Trimble who moved to Ohio later and be¬
came governor of the new state. Colonel Dunlap purchased land in Brown County and
also in Ross County near Chillicothe, on the Scioto River. Major Stevenson purchased
a large tract of land near Old Town, Greene County, to which his three sons emigrated.

Colonel James Dunlap (1768-1821)

Colonel James Dunlap, son of Colonel Alexander Dunlap, was born in Virginia in 1768.
He settled on a farm near Chillicothe, his land adjoining that of his cousin John. Here
he erected a large brick house before 1815 and lived there until his death in 1821.

While a boy, during one of the Indian forays in Virginia, James Dunlap was mounted
on a black stallion whose back had been tarred so as to enable him to stay on his mount,
was sent with a message through the Indian lines from Clover Lick Fort of the Dunlaps
to Warwick’s Fort, to bring assistance in an effort to repel the Indians. He was also out
in the West Indian Campaign in Kentucky. He left Woodford County for Chillicothe in
1796 to take charge of his father’s estate. He returned the following year and married
Elisabeth Stevenson, June, 1797, a daughter of James Stevenson, Sr., and a distant rela¬
tive of Major Samuel Stevenson, who first settled at Pisgah. He was Justice of the Court
of Quarter Sessions of Ross County in 1799, a member of the Ohio Legislature in 1803,
and later sessions, member of the State Senate, Presidential Elector, 1812, and also a
Colonel in the War of 1812. He was a Whig Candidate for Governor of Ohio in 1816 and
1818. He was a member of the first Court in Ross County, Ohio, 1798, Chillicothe Court
of Common Pleas for the U. S. Territory North-West of the Ohio River, presided over
by the “Gentlemen Justices.” He was commissioned by Governor Arthur St. Clair in
1798 for this task with ten other gentlemen. He served until the Judiciary was organized
under the State Constitution. He sold 200 acres of his land for the Poor Farm in 1818.

89

William Dunlap (1772-1849)

William Dunlap, son of Colonel Alexander and Agnes Gay Dunlap moved to Brown
County, Ohio, about 1797. He became an anti-slavery leader in the State. His son, Dr.
Alexander Dunlap, was a prominent early physician and surgeon. Dr. Dunlap attended
Athens University, Miamin University, studied Medicine under his brother, Dr. Milton
Dunlap (1807-1890) of Greenfield, Ohio, then graduated from Cincinnati Medical School
in 1830. Dr. Dunlap practiced with his brother until 1846, then moved to Ripley, Ohio.

In 1856, he removed to Springfield, Ohio. In 1843 he removed, successfully, a forty-five
pound ovarian tumor but his patient died a week later. He was denounced but in 1868
was elected President of the Ohio Medical Society and twice re-elected. He was one of
the Judicial Council of A. M. A., and he resigned to accept the Vice- Presidency. He was
elected a Fellow of the American Gynecological Society in 1875 and was appointed to
Professor of “Surgical Diseases in Women” in Starling Medical College of Columbus.

In Lithotomy he was reported as successful in removing a 20 ounce stone, largest ever
reported from a living person, 1881. He was prominent in other operations. His surgi¬
cal instruments are in the Historical Museum in Xenia, Ohio, having been acquired by
a friend, Dr. Ben McClellan.

Rev. Samuel MacChord, a grandson of William Dunlap, was an essayist, the second
“Oliver Wendell Holmes,” preaching at Harvard, 1838. Another grandson was Charles
Kephart Dunlap who was a leading railroad man and who is written up in “Who’s Who In
America.”

Rev. Mitchell G. Dunlap (1809-1891)

Rev. Mitchell G. Dunlap was the son of Robert and Martha Graham Dunlap of Augusta
County, Virginia, grandson of Robert and Mary Gay Dunlap. No person extended an influ¬
ence for the best interest of our people superior to what he did. He studied at Lexington,
Va., and Union Theological Seminary at Hampden Sydney. Several years later he was
licensed by Lexington Presbytery and soon after went to French Creek-Oak Grove Church,
Va. He lived at Hillsboro and supplied Hunterville and Oak Grove. He was principal of
Pocahontas Academy, established, 1840, by Rev. Joseph Brown. He organized the
“Church Magazine” in 1845. He retired to the farm. He served his Church faithfully
from 1845 until his death in 1891.

90

Tradition is with us today that the first generation of the family of Dunlaps were the
first settlers of Pasture Region in the Valley of Virginia, furthermost settlers of the
Virginian frontier at that time. The second generation advance money for what later
became Lexington, Virginia, “The Athens of the West.” The third generation, William
Dunlap, went to Kentucky. The fourth generation early settlers located in Kansas, and
the fifth generation was William the prominent California pioneer who had been to Mexico
in 1848 (Boutwell Dunlap’s lineage).

2. Dunlops (Dunlaps) In British-America or the U.S.A.

OUR SCOTTISH- AMERICAN ANCESTOR was Captain Alexander Dunlop (1716-1744),
a Captain of the Horse, who came from Scotland by way of North Ireland (Ulster) with
his famous sister, Elisabeth Dunlap, who is mentioned in the “Seneca Trail,” and set¬
tled in Augusta County (now Rockbridge), Virginia, on Calfpasture. He built and owned
Goshen. He came with his kinsmen: Captain James Dunlap, William Dunlap, and Hugh
Dunlap. Hugh Dunlap settled in Knoxville, Tennessee, and had two illustrious sons:
General Richard G. Dunlap (1775-1859), who was Secretary of War in the Texas Re¬
public, and the Honourable William Claiborne Dunlap, a statesman.*

Captain Alexander Dunlop was the son of Alexander and Antonia Brown Dunlop;
Alexander Dunlop was a Scottish soldier at the Siege of Londonderry, North Ireland,

1689; he was descended from the Dunlops of Dunlop, Scotland. Capt. Alexander Dunlop
married Anne MacFarlane (1715-1786) in 1737, who was born in Scotland, and was a
daughter of Caleb MacFarlane, the Chief of the Clan, whose lands were proscribed be¬
fore 1740 (See Appendix for an historical sketch of Clan MacFarlane).

After the death of Capt. Alexander Dunlop in 1744, Anne married Captain Robert
Bratton of Virginia, 1745.

To the first union we have a record of four children, three sons and one daughter
with whom we shall be concerned: 1. Ensign Robert Dunlap (1740-1781), 2. John Dun¬
lap (1743-1804), 3. Colonel Alexander Dunlap (1743-1828), and 4. Elisabeth Anne Mac¬
Farlane Dunlap (1744- ).

* See Mary U. Rothrocks, Editor, The French Broad-Holston Country, 1946. Two other sons
were: James T., Comptroller of the Treasury of Tennessee, 1857-1861, and Hugh White, a
a judge in West Tennessee.

91

Rev. A. J. Ponton in his History of Windy Cove Presbyterian Church, Millboro Springs,
Virginia, 1749-1929, wrote:

“About this time ( (1730) ) a number of enterprising and hardy families, seeking
a home in the wilderness, came and settled in this neighbourhood on this river,
and changed its beautiful Indian name of Wallawhatoola into that of Cowpasture
River. They were soon afterwards joined by other families. They were the de¬
scendants of those who had suffered so much in the Old Country under Claverhouse
the bloodhound of persecution in Scotland. Their fathers and mothers had been
shut up for eight months in the Siege of Derry. It is stated in the history of that
day of blood, that about twenty-seven thousand persons were shut up in the walls
of that town, of whom about one thousand perished in the siege, when James II
(1685-1689) was endeavouring to bring them into subjection, and establish over
them in all the realm, the Roman Catholic religion. They came to this broad land
in the hope of enjoying that civil and religious liberty which neither they nor their
fathers could enjoy at home.”

by falling timber on Lick Creek. Boone County, West Virginia, both he and

Rev. Hugh Walker McCutchan gives the following additional notes:

1. Spelling of the Name. Over two hundred years ago, the usual spelling of the
name was McCutchen or McCutcheon, and a majority of the members of the
family still use one or the other of these spellings. For the past few gener¬
ations, most members of our branch of the family have written the name
McCutchan.

2. Geographical Locations. Most of the members of our branch of the McCutchan
Family continued to live on the Little Calfpasture until 1876. Adam Travis
and his family lived at Estaline Furnance in Augusta County, Virginia, until
1836, when they moved to Lewis County, Missouri. All of his five children
married in Missouri and made their homes there. In 1872 John Samuel

Winget Warner of Xenia, Ohio (1955).

From Reverend Sander’s history of Louisville Seminary, we find: “The Church in Kentucky
soon found need for a school of the prophets. As early as 1794, when it was in session at
Woodford Church, in Woodford County, the Transylvania Presbytery initiated steps looking
toward the founding of an academy to prepare young men to preach. Kentucky Academy was
founded at Pisgah Church as a result of this action and it was amalgamated with Transyl¬
vania Seminary in Lexington in 1798 to form Transylvania University.”

PREFACE

The following account of a Dunlap Family of the “Old Waxhaw” community of Lan¬
caster County. South Carolina, is compiled from various authentic sources, and every
effort has been made to render it as full and accurate as possible. Data concerning
my own direct line of ancestry, being so much more readily obtained, must be an excuse
for seeming partiality to that branch. There are, doubtless, some errors and many
omissions in the work, but the undertaking has been one of great difficulty, and the very
lack of information on the part of the members of the family convinces me of the need
of this publication, however imperfect it may be. This Genealogy is simply the effort
of a busy man to preserve in permanent shape some account of his ancestors.

This Genealogy of the Dunlap Family of the “Old Waxhaw Community” does not in¬
clude all of the Dunlaps in the Waxhaws.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

“A Scotch- Irish family which landed in Pennsylvania: from thence three brothers

(Robert, Samuel, and _ _ )* moved to the Waxhaw Community in Lancaster

County, South Carolina, probably in May, 1751, with many neighbors and friends,”
(Genealogy of the Witherspoon Family, compiled by Joseph G, Wardlaw, Yorkville, S. C, ,
1910, pg. 134).

“Alexander Dunlap (1689), a Scottish soldier who fought at the Sieze of London-derry
had five sons who came to Pennsylvania, They were Alexander Dunlap, Jr., (1716-1744),
Samuel, David, Robert, and John. Samuel, David, Robert and John moved to South
Carolina.” (J.A.H,).

WAXHAWS: “This community is so closely associated with our early ancestors as
to make it proper to set down a few facts relating thereto. The name doubtless orig¬
inated from the Waxhaw Indians. It embraces a territory about five miles square, near
the Catawba River, in Lancaster County, South Carolina. It was settled by the whites
about 1751, the families forming the settlement came from Pennsylvania and Virginia
and were Scotch-Irish who gradually worked their way south. The first grant of land
was made to Robert McElhenney in 1751, and is known as the “Old Blair Place.” Some
of the earliest settlers were the Whites, Pickens, Fosters, Simpsons, Calhouns, Dunlaps,
Barnetts, Millers, Lattas, Crockets and others. It is thought the Crawfords, Jacksons,
Hutchisons and others arrived about 1760. The defeat of Braddock, in 1755, probably
induced many to seek homes in the more protected sections of North and South Carolina.
Very soon after these worthy people provided shelter for their families, they began the
erection of a building for the worship of God, Rev, J. B, Davies says: the first church
was organized in 1755 or 1756. I notice that Samuel Dunlap, who married Mary Craigh-
head, and Henry White are named as two of the original trustees and elders, to whom
was deeded in 1758, “The church and four and one half acres and a spring,” (Ibid,
Wardlaw, pages 22 - 24.) Dr. Howe says: “The original Trustees of the Waxhaw Church
were Samuel Dunlap, Henry White, Robert Davies, Robert Ramsay, and John.”

“The successors of the original trustees have been William Davis, Robert Montgom¬
ery, Robert Dunlap, William Cams, Nathan Barr, James Dunlap,

After this, the trustees having died out, the congregation held an election, during the
pastorate of Edward Palmer, and elected John Foster, B. S. Massey, Robert Crockett,

D. Dunlap, and _ _ Gamble. The lease of the church lot was recorded in the

* The third brother was probably David.

167

Registry Office of Anson County, N. C. — ” (Book D., No. 4, pp. 371, 375, the 17th of
September, 1759) Ibid, Howe, Vol. 1, 293.

“Mr. Miller (Rev. Robert Miller) had sold his plantation to Mr. Barnett, but had
reserved four and a half acres, on which the church was built, as sacred to the uses of
the congregation. On this day (March 9, 1758) he and his wife Jane executed a lease and
release of the land, transferring this tract, on which was the cemetery, church, and
spring to trustees for the Waxhaw congregation. The Trustees named in the document
are Robert Davies, Robert Ramsay, John Linn, Samuel Dunlap, and Henry White. It is
attested by Robert McClanahan, John Crockett, and Andrew Pickens.” History of the
Presbyterian Church in South Carolina, Rev. George Howe, D. D., Professor in the
Theological Seminary, Columbia, South Carolina, Vol. 1, pg. 290.

Mr. Wardlaw quotes Mr. Me Crady as saying:

“ ‘Almost invariably as soon as a neighborhood was settled preparations were made
for the preaching of the Gospel by a regular stated pastor, and wherever a pastor
was located, in that congregation there was a classical school.’ Certain it is that
religion and education were the most potent factors in moulding the characters of
the inhabitants of this section, and as a result men were produced, who have added
lustre to the entire state. Gen’l McCrady also says, ‘If the old St. Phillips Church
was a part of the constitution of South Carolina, as Westminister Abbey was of the
British constitution, so around the Old Waxhaw Church in Lancaster— the first
church above Orangeburg— was formed the settlement which gave tone and thought
to the whole upper country of the State. From these people came three of the great¬
est men of their times— Jackson, Calhoun and Crawford (Wm. H.). From the Waxhaws
too, came Stephen D. Miller, a man of great power in his day and generation in
society, as the bar and in the councils of his country.’ Continuing, he comments
upon the rearing of the children of this community and states that they were ‘taught
to speak the truth and defend it, to keep a good conscience and fear God.’ ‘The
desire of knowledge was cherished before a competence was gained.’ Dr. Howe says,
‘Many of the Waxhaw men were numbered among the patriots of the Revolution.
Besides Major, afterwards General and subsequently Governor, William R. Davie,
there were Major Robert Crawford, Major John Barkly and Henry Massey. Waxhaw
church was a general place of rendezvous for the patriots. Waxhaw in the olden
time, was the centre around which good men, such as Andrew Pickens and Patrick

168

Calhoun loved to gather. And in time of Revolution, the time that tried men’s souls,
the men of the congregation, among whom Major Robert Crawford, Major Jno. Bark¬
ley, and even the boys, as Henry Massey and Andrew Jackson were found in marray
in defense of their homes and country.” (Ibid. Wardlaw, pp. 22 - 24).

“THE OLD WAXHAW CHURCH- -The church and congregation whose name stands
at the head of this article is one of the oldest in the up-country of South Carolina.
Some six or seven families settled in the country known as ‘the Waxhaws,’ in Lan¬
caster district, in May, 1751. In the fall of the same year a few more joined them,
and a considerable number in 1752, chiefly from Augusta County, Virginia, and the
back parts of Pennsylvania. These first settlers were known as ‘the Pennsylvania
Irish,’ having first settled in that State in their migrations from the north of Ireland.
‘Those from Pennsylvania,’ says Mr. Stinson, from whom we now quote, ‘had result¬
ed there sufficiently long to be judges of good land.’ they settled along the river and
creek. The ‘Scotch-Irish,’ who came by the way of Charleston, not being judges,
settled out on thinner land, and towards the heads of the creeks and water-courses.
All, however, were of the Presbyterian persuasion. (Ibid, Howe, Vol. 1, 285).

A Highway Historical Marker, reads as follows:

“Waxhaw Presbyterian Church. About 5 miles North is Waxhaw Presbyterian
Church, organized 1755. First Church in Upper South Carolina. President Andrew
Jackson, born nearby. Baptized there. His father lies in the Churchyard with other
early settlers of the Waxhaws and many veterans of various wars, including the
following: General William R. Davie, Major Robert Crawford, John Barkley, Col.

J. H Witherspoon, and Captain Isaac Donnom.”

A Stone Marker in the front yard of the Waxhaw Church reads as follows:

“Tombstones In The Church Yard date from 1758. Among prominent men buried
here are President Andrew Jackson’s Father, General William R. Davie, Revolu¬
tionary Patriot, Founder of the University of North Carolina, 1789, Governor of
North Carolina in 1798, and Minister to France, 1799.”

In Celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of Old Waxhaw Presbyterian
Church, Cradle of Presbyterianism in the Up Country of South Carolina, Lancaster
County, S. C., July 24, 1955, the following was printed in the program.

“The Waxhaws”, deriving its name from an extinct tribe of Indians, was settled
in the early 1750’s by immigrants from Virginia and Pennsylvania. Receiving their

169

grants in Anson County, North Carolina, they met in the Waxhaws a smaller group of
settlers who were establishing their claim under the South Carolina government.

Never long in one place without religious services, these Scotch-Irish pioneers
were, no doubt, engaging in some form of corporate worship soon after their arrival.
The first sermon recorded was delivered in February, 1753, by John Brown, a young
probationer from Pennsylvania. The Reverend Hugh McAden preached at the Wax-
haw ‘meeting house’ on November 23, 1755, while on a mission through Piedmont
Carolina.

Calling for their minister a Scotch schoolmaster, Robert Miller, the Waxhaw
congregation received from him and his wife, Jean Pickens, their first title to Wax¬
haw Church property. This deed, dated March 9, 1758, for 4 1/2 acres included a
house for divine services, a retiring house and a spring.

After an unsuccessful mission among the Cherokee Indians, the Rev. Wm. Richard¬
son accepted the pastorate of Waxhaw Church in 1759. ‘His widely extended ministry,
lasting till his death in 1711, did much to make the Waxhaws the Presbyterian center
of the South Carolina back country.’ (Meriwether) His remains were reinterred in
the handsome Davie Memorial in 1927 along with those of his illustrious nephew and
namesake, William Richardson Davie, and other members of the Davie family.

The first meeting house, on the east side of the graveyard, was used as a hospital
during the Revolutionary War. It was burned by the British after a skirmish at the
church April 9, 1781. The next building burned by accident after the Great Revival
of 1802. The third church, built on a 4 1/2 acre tract purchased from Robert and
Jame Thompson in 1808, was used until the present edifice was erected in 1896.

Many notable ministers have served this congregation during its long history, one
of the most distinguished being the Rev. J. H. Thornwell, D.D. Concerning this
church he wrote, ‘It was here in her (church’s) schoolhouse the classics were first
taught in South Carolina. It was here in one of her camp meetings that the singing
of hymns (instead of Psalms) was introduced in public worship. . . It was here in
this historic church on April 12, 1785, that the Presbytery of South Carolina held
its first meeting.

Old Waxhaw Presbyterian Church, pioneer church of this denomination in upper
South Carolina, stands today as a citadel to the ‘Faith of Our Fathers,”

(Prepared by Miss Nancy Crockett,

Lancaster, S. C.)

170

Note: “There have been Eleven Elders in the Waxhaw Presbyterian Church by the name
of Dunlap.

The Ruling Elders in 1813 were as follows:

“Alexander Carnes, Wm. Dunlap, Geo. Dunlap, Charles Miller, Robert Walkup.”
(The Presbyterian Church in South Carolina, Edited by F. D. Jones and W. H. Mills,
Published by the Synod of S. C., 1926.)

THE WAXHAW ACADEMY

“Second only to their religion was the Scotch-Irish Presbyterian’s belief in educa¬
tion. Robert Mills in his ‘Statistics of S. C.’, published in 1826, said ‘At one period
this part of the state could boast of having the best institution for learning in the
upper country; nay the only one above Charleston. It was conducted with ability and
was highly respectable. In this institution many gentlemen, who afterwards distin¬
guished themselves, were educated.’

It was the fame of the Waxhaw Academy that brought the founder of the Wither¬
spoon family in Lancaster County into the Waxhaws. James Hervey Witherspoon,
born Nov. 20, 1784, near Kingstree in Williamsburg County was sent to this Academy
to prepare for the South Carolina College. Romance intervened and in 1803 he
married Jean Donnom, the only daughter of Captain Isaac Donnom and Sarah Craw¬
ford, and settled near the Catawba River. He is Lancaster County’s only Lieutenant-
Governor, serving from 1826-1828 while John Taylor was Governor. It was to this
J. H. Witherspoon that Andrew Jackson wrote August 11, 1824, ‘I was born in South
Carolina, as I have been told, at the plantation whereon James Crawford lived, about
1 mile from the Carolina road crossing of the Waxhaw Creek. . . .’

CAMP MEETING

Old records estimate that the number of people who gathered for the Great Re¬
vival which reached the Waxhaws in 1803 at between three and four thousand while
some put the peak number much higher. They came ‘in 120 wagons, 20 carts, 8
carriages’ and many by horseback and shanks mare. The camp was laid out in an
oblong on the hillside near the spring and services held in the open. The meeting was
interdenominational with 18 ministers taking part. However, the gathering was

171

strongly censored by the more conservative people because of the actions of some
who attended and because of the introduction by the church pastor, John Brown, of
Rouse’s Version of the Psalms. Those who held to the Old Version of the Psalms
of David considered this a sacrilege. The next year John Brown asked to be re¬
lieved of his pastorate and part of the congregation drew off to form a new church
now known as Shiloh ARP,

Subsequent divisions to form neighboring churches further diminished Waxhaw’s
membership,

BICENTENNIAL PLANS

Never large in membership since the Confederate War, this church has main¬
tained an active small group which this year is planning to celebrate its becentennial.
For many years now Waxhaw has shared its pastor with one or more small neighbor¬
ing churches.

Today’s casual visitor to the remodeled church building may find it difficult to
comprehend the vast sweep of time and history through which this old settlement
has passed. But somehow, a walk through the adjoining ‘city of the dead’, lifts the
visitor above the pressing present and sets hims down gently, with reverence and
respect, among the sleeping pioneers of the past. He will come away with the feel¬
ing that all must eventually be well in this red-clay community which still worships
at the shrine hallowed by their God-fearing and courageous forefathers.”

late of the PARISH aforesaid Planter Deceased as nearest of kin to be read in
said Church and returned Certified March 22nd. 1774. Robert married
Elizabeth Dunlap (nee Kid (d). Her tombstone in Waxhaw cemetery. Died
1787, Oct. 4, Aged 77 yrs.

A. 2. Samuel. Born in 1715, died April 25, 1791.

‘‘One of the original Elders and Trustees, to whom ‘the church and four and
one-half acres and a spring’ were deeded ...”

(Wardlaw, Ibid, pg. 134).

This deed dated March 9, 1758.

“Married Mary Craighead. Issue, Sam F., Minister at Columbia, and William.”
(Wardlaw, Ibid, pg. 134.)

There are several disputed points here.

Dr. Howe says that Mary Craighead married the son of the Old Elder (Ibid,
Howe, pg. 331), “but buried by the side of the Old Elder is a Mary Dunlap, who
died December 5, 1796, aged 66 years. . . . The person compiling a new
Craighead Genealogy is questioning Mary Dunlap’s (1730 - 1796) being Mary
Craighead. From Alexander Craighead’s will, he lists his eldest daughter
Margaret, Agnes (Nancy), Jane (who was born in 1742), Rachel, Mary, who
married Samuel Dunlap.” (Miss Nancy Crockett, Lancaster, S. C.)

*Rev. Wm. Richardson married Nancy Craighead, one of the six daughters of
Rev. Alex. Craighead.

“The other sisters of Mrs. Richardson were married, Rachel (Craighead) to
Rev. David Caldwell, of Guildford, N. C.; Margaret (Craighead) to Mr. Carruth;
Mary (Craighead) to Samuel Dunlap, son of the old elder of that name; Eliz¬
abeth (Craighead) to Alexander Crawford, the two last mentioned living in
Waxhaw congregation.” (History of the Presbyterian Church in South Carolina,
Rev. George Howe, D. D., Professor in the Theological Seminary, Columbia,

S. C., Vol. 1, pg. 331.)

Mr. Wardlaw lists as a son of Samuel, Sam. F., Minister at Columbia, and
William. The Minister at Columbia was Rev. David Ellison Dunlap, organizing
pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, S. C. Dr. Howe says: “Rev.
David E Dunlap. Mr. Dunlap was the son of Samuel Dunlap, a worthy and much
respected Elder of the Waxhaw Church,” (Howe, Ibid, Vol. 1, pg. 596.) The

174

Will of Rev. David Ellison Dunlap mentions four brothers and one sister,
namely, Robert, Samuel, William, Elizabeth Stephenson and Thomas (Deceased).
We cannot speak with assurance concerning the Samuel Dunlap’s. Miss Nancy
Crockett, Lancaster, S. C., says: “There are 40 odd Dunlaps in Waxhaw
Cemetery, with marked graves, five Samuels, six Marys, three Williams, and
three Roberts.” The Census of 1791 lists in the Camden District, Lancaster
County, S. C., Samuel Dunlap, Sr., and three Samuel Dunlaps.

“On September 26, 1751, one Robert Ramsay entered public land in the then
Anson County (1749), North Carolina, which at that time included (up until 1772)
much of the Old Waxhaw Area in the now Lancaster, York, and Chester counties,
South Carolina. On the same date, September 26, 1751, one, Samuel Dunlap
(the old elder) (1715-1791) entered 300 acres in the then Anson County, part
later (1862). Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and after 1772, the “New
Acquisition* in South Carolina (Upper parts of Lancaster and York Districts,
and, some of Chester County, I believe, and eastward.) Ramsay (or Ramsey)
entered at least three tracts on that date, September 26, 1751, 300 acres, 400
acres, and 300 acres. Later on, Ramsay sold some of his land to Robert
Dunlap, Sr. (1708 - 1773). Ramsay’s wife may have been a Dunlap. The families
were later intermarried, if not before.” - Land Records are from Vol. IV, of
the Colonial Record of North Carolina. (The above information was furnished
by Rev. Wallace Hogue, Retired Episcopal Rector, Kellys Ford Farm, Reming¬
ton, Virginia. The research was done by H. W. Goforth, Lenoir, N. C. )

The following is one of the Land Grants of Lay Elder Samuel Dunlap (1715 -

1791):

Co., S. C. Wadesboro is the County Seat.

2. The next Land Grant in this book is to Robert Ramsey —
a 300 acres of land in the Co. of Anson, on the No. side
of the Catawba River.

“Samuel has the most official records (of the three brothers, Samuel, Robert and
David), beginning with a land record (Anson County, N. C., 300 acres, listed on September
26, 1751. This record is recorded in, “The Colonial Records of North Carolina,”

Born: 1747, Died, 1804.

REV. DAVID ELLISON DUNLAP. “Mr. Dunlap was the son of Samuel
Dunlap, a worthy and much respected elder of the Waxhaw church; was a
graduate of Mount Zion College, Winnsboro; was received as a candidate,
under the care of South Carolina Presbytery, in April 1791, and was licensed
to preach in April 1793.”

Ibid, Howe, Vol. 1, p. 596

“Mr. Dunlap was licensed to preach April 16th, 1793, was appointed
September 25, to preach at James Island, John’s Island, Wadmalaw, Fishing
Creek, Ebenezer, Bethel, N. Pacolet, Milford and Nazareth, each one Sabbath,
and at Lebanon, two. From Lebanon, he received a call. In April, 1794, he
was ordered to preach at John’s Island and Wadmalaw, Dochester, Bethel,
Lebanon, Fishing Creek, and Nazareth, each one Sabbath, at Columbia four,
and the rest at discretion. He was called to Columbia, Sept. 23, 1794, and
was ordained and installed June 4, 1795.”

178

Ibid, Howe. Vol. 2, p. 77

“In 1786 measures were taken to locate a capital of the State as near as
possible to its geographical centre. . .The beauty of the site, and its superior
salubrity, induced the selection of the spot, on which Columbia is situated in
preference to the town of Granby, three miles lower, on the Congaree, which,
before and during the war of the Revolution, was a place of considerable busi¬
ness. The State records were removed from Charleston to Columbia in 1789,
and the legislature met in the State-house, then newly erected, in 1790. In 1791,
the State College was established by legislative enactment, and the central
position of the infant capital, the advantages it held as a place of education, the
fact that it was the head of the navigation on the river, and the commerce which
was attracted toward it, gave it a sure, though by no means a very rapid growth.
A letter addressed to David E. Dunlap, recently licensed by the Presbytery of
South Carolina, from a number of inhabitants of the place, intended as a call to
him to accept the charge of a church lately established there, was laid before
the Presbytery in April, 1794, but was sent back that it might be more fully
conformed to the order prescribed in the form of government adopted by our
church. (This letter was signed by Thomas Taylor and Benjamin Waring, and
is dated March 20, 1794). The place had been visited by Robert Wilson of Long
Cane, on his Missionary tour. He preached in Columbia to a large concourse
of people, on the 15th of December, 1793, and refers to the effort they were
making to secure the services of Mr. Dunlap. They rightly said in their letter
to Mr. Dunlap, that it was “greatly contrary to the interests of a young town to
be growing up without the Sabbath day’s observance.” And that this was a pre¬
vailing evil at that time in this newly-settled place, is what the testimony of
others leads us to believe. Mr. Dunlap was not ordained and installed till
June 4, 1795. The public service of ordination was held in the State-house.
Robert McColloch acting as moderator, and John Brown (afterwards D. D.),
preaching the ordination sermon from 2 Corinthians 5: 20 (“Now then we are
ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in
Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.”); after which Mr. Dunlap was solemnly
ordained to the whole of the gospel ministry by fasting, prayer, and the imposi¬
tion of the hands of the Presbytery, and a charge was given to the young pastor
and his flock by the moderator. In the call presented to Mr. Dunlap, one hundred

179

and eleven pounds were named as having been subscribed to his salary, and
more was expected. Mr. Dunlap divided his time for a season between Columbia
and Granby, preaching in Columbia two-thirds and at Granby one-third of his
time. He supported himself in a good measure from his own private resources,
and the salary he received as clerk of the Senate — (Ms., History of the Columbia
Church, by Rev. Dr. Palmer. Minutes of the Presbytery, p. 81). He was em¬
ployed thus for three years preceding August, 1799, In October, 1799, a call
was presented to Presbytery by the people of the Granby for the pastoral
services of Rev. George Reid, after which Mr. Dunlap devoted his whole labors
to the congregation in Columbia. There being no church edifice, he preached
in the legislative hall; and there are persons yet living who speak of the gentle¬
manly manners and his gifts.”

Ibid, Howe, Vol. 1, p. 594-595.

“In the Act of the Legislature, passed Dec. 19, 1801, Rev. D. E. Dunlap,

Rev. John Brown, and Rev. Samuel W. Yongue, and Thomas Taylor, one of the
first Elders of the Columbia Church, were named Trustees of the College of
South Carolina, at that time founded.”

Ibid, Howe, Vol. 2, pg. 78

“Mr Dunlap died in September, 1804, and lies buried in the southeastern
angle of the Presbyterian (First) church yard; the record upon his tombstone
stating the remarkable fact of the wife’s death on the same day with himself.
They were interred in the same grave. “In death they were not divided.”

(Ibid, Howe, Vol. 1, pg. 596)

In the cemetery of the First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, S. C. will be found a
new stone which reads as follows:

and became the first pastor of the church here. For a time he also preached at
Granby. As there was no house of worship he made use of the State House, Alternat¬

THE CAMDEN JOURNAL, Camden, South Carolina, Wednesday, October 6, 1841:

DIED —

In Lancaster District on the 2d inst. Mr. William Dunlap, in the 75th year of his
age. A more extended obituary will be given in our next.

THE CAMDEN JOURNAL, Camden, South Carolina, Wednesday, October 13, 1841:

Departed this life, after a lingering illness, on the night of the 2d inst. Mr. William
Dunlap, of Lancaster District, in the 75th year of his age. The domestic character of
the deceased and his unobtrusive habits, may have prevented his name, being spread
abroad, but with those to whom he was known and who enjoyed his acquaintance, his
memory will be cherished and endeared, by all the most tender and affectionate recol¬
lections of life; he was exemplary, in the faithful and prompt discharge of his duties.

As a husband, he was most affectionate and devoted; as a father, kind and indulgent, as
a neighbor, obliging, benevolent and hospitable, and as a citizen and Christian, univer¬
sally confided in, beloved and honored. For many years, he has been a zealous and con¬
stant member of the Presbyterian Church, firmly believing in its doctrines and con¬
forming to its discipline. But, at the same time, exercising, towards, all other denomina¬
tions, the highest degree of tolerance, and charity. Indeed, it may well be said of him,
he was a Christian; not alone in profession, but in practice. One who obeyed the pre¬
cepts of divine revelation with scrupulous exactness, but without ostentation. Never
has the writer of this witnessed, a more imposing, though humble religious services,
than around the family alter of the deceased: nor can he ever forget, the soothing
influence of that service. The deep and fervent energy of that voice in prayer, though
trembling and broken by age, the unaffected piety breathed in every word and the
perfect sincerity and confidence of his aspirations were really the outpouring of the
heart.

He has left a bereaved wife and numerous relations to mourn his loss.

Resolutions of the Holly Springs, Mississippi, Presbyterian Church concerning Dr.
Thomas L, Dunlap:

“Dr. Thomas L. Dunlap was born in Lancaster District, So. Car., in November
1808, and died at his residence, 2 l/2 miles east of Holly Springs, Miss., on the 4th
of April, 1876, in the 68th year of his age. He was a child of the Covenant, and was
brought up by his parents, under the ordinance of the Christian Religion, as they
were dispenced in the Old Waxhaw Presbyterian Church, in Lancaster District, S. C.
At 17 years of age, he made a public profession of faith in Christ. He studied medi¬
cine in Lexington, Ky., and for some years was engaged actively in his profession
in Lancaster Village, S. C. He was made an Elder there, probably in the year of

1835. He was present at the meeting of Harmony Presbytery, in Nov. 1834, when

*

Rev. Dr. James Henley Thornwell . was licensed to preach the gospel, and largely,

through, Dr. Dunlap’s influence Dr. Thornwell, then quite a young man, was induced

*

to take charge of the Lancasterville, Waxhaw, and Six Mile Churches, and Dr.
Thornwell became an intimate friend of Dr. Dunlap’s family. A life-long friendship
existed between them. Dr. Dunlap came to his late residence in 1846 and was after¬
wards called by his fellow citizens to represent them in the State Legislature. He
became an Elder of this church in 1847. In all of his relations, as a husband, father,
citizen, and ruling Elder in the church, he led an upright, consistent Christian life.
He was a man of intelligence, integrity, piety and will be greatly missed as a
citizen and as an Elder, and leaves in his home a vacuum which earth cannot fill.

His religious experience in his declining years was bright and death came to him

* Dr. Thornwell was President of South Carolina, and Professor of Theology at Columbia
Theological Seminary later.

OBITUARY

Departed this life, in Hagers Town, Maryland, on Sunday the 17th February, 1856,
Rev. ROBERT W. DUNLAP, in the 46th year of his age.

197

Mr. Dunlap was born in Lancaster District, S. C. in 1811, and was the youngest
son of that most excellent and worthy man, the late Wm. Dunlap, Sen. At an early age,
and in his youth, he became a member of the Presbyterian Church, as Waxhaw, and
well adorned his profession by a walk and life of Christian virtues and graces. In
fact, he was born a “child of grace,” and his inclinations and taste led him to the
ministry. As soon as his academical studies prepared him, he entered the University
of N. C., at Chapel Hill, where he graduated in 1835. He next entered the Theological
Seminary at Princeton, and there completed his preparations for the ministry. After
becoming licensed, he become Pastor, in 1837 or 1838, of the Presbyterian Church
in St. Augustine, Fla., which he gave up on account of his health. Afterwards, he
was Pastor of the church in Columbia, Pa., also, in Baltimore, and in the city of
New York, and, for the last five years, was the Pastor of the church in Hagers
Town, where he closed his earthly labors.

A friend in communicating his death to his brother (Mr. A. C. Dunlap) also
says, “No people ever were blessed with a more faithful and useful minister of the
gospel. His words, his life, his sufferings and his death, all beautifully coincided,
and have left an abiding and saving impression upon his people, while the community
at large read in these, also lessons which cannot but adorn the Christian religion.

He died amidst the tears of his friends and people and the gloom of our whole
community.” J. H, W.

they could not make a successful resistance. He ordered the assault, and his forces were
received with well-directed artillery and infantry fire & defeated with heavy loss. It
is conceded that the battle of Malvern Hill was in error on the part of the confederate
commander, due to his underestimation of the strength and condition of the federals.”

S. C.,

Occupation: He was educated at Mt. Zion Institute, Winnsboro, S. C,, spent

two years at Princeton University, leaving to enter the Confeder¬
ate Army. He had a notable war record.

He was a member of the Lancaster Grays. In July 1861, the Lancaster Grave became
a part of the Ninth S. C. Regiment. Later this company was placed in the Jenkins5
Brigade and became a part of the Fifth S. C. Regiment. At the Battle of the Wilderness,
Capt. Stewart was captured by the enemy, and CoL Dunlap (then a first lieutenant) took
charge of the company as Captain, and this position he retained until near the close of
the war, when he resigned and went into the Artillery branch of the service. During
his service in the Confederate Army he participated in the Battles of Williamsburg,
Seven Pines, Seven Days, Malvern Hills, Second Battle of Manassas, Fredericksburg.
Pennsylvania, Antietam and Racoon Valley. Throughout the war he proved himself a
soldier of great gallantry and courage.

After the cessation of hostitities, Col. Dunlap returned to Lancaster to take up the
task of mending his broken fortunes, and he applied himself to that task with indomitable
courage. In 1876, when the State was redeemed from radical rule, CoL Dunlap was
appointed Treasurer of Lancaster county by Gov. Wade Hampton, and this position of
trust he held through election for 14 years. His predecessor in that office had been a
Negro appointed by the radical carpetbag governor, Chamberlain. In 1890 he moved to
Rock Hill, S. C., where he has since made his home. During his residence here he was
very active in Rock Hill affairs. While Winthrop College was under construction he
was Secretary of the Board of Trustees. He later was Secretary of the Arcade Cotton
Mill; then President of the Smith- Fewell Co., and was for somtime in business for
himself as a wholesale grocer, then retiring from business.

“Col. W. B. Dunlap was a notable figure in the life of Rock Hill. No man here
has ever stood higher in the love and esteen of his fellow-citizens. He was a
friend of all who had the honor of his acquaintance, all recognizing him as a man of

sterling character and honesty of purpose -the desire to always do the right thing
being a predominating trait of the man,” The Record Newspaper, (Rock Hill, S, C.)

(Dictated Friday, May 11, 1917.)

The first real battle that I was engaged in was the Battle of Seven Pines, called
White Oaks by the Federals, I do not recall the exact hour we became engaged, but I
remember that the enemy was advancing towards Richmond, and we were ordered out
to meet them. After marching several miles we were formed into line of battle.
Skirmishers were thrown out in front and advanced driving back the pickets of the
enemy. Shortly afterwards we were ordered forward and were in line of battle, and I
recall that we came to trees and bushes that had been cut down and formed into what
was called an abatis. These, of course, hindered our advance somewhat, but we pushed
them aside and jumped over and made our way onward. The cannon had been firing
out so all the way, but now they commenced with their musketry. In a short time the
cannon ceased firing because our lines of battle were approaching so near the Yankees
were fearful of hurting their own men as well as us.

Now, onward we go, and with the rebel yell we rush towards the enemy, and are met
with a terrific shower of musket balls. The sound at the opening was more like hail
falling upon a tin roof than anything else I know of. You could hear the bullets whistl¬
ing through the air, and when they would strike you could distinctly hear a sound like,

202

“Zip! ” The firing on each side was now terrible. We lost our Colonel, the lieutenant-
colonel and a lieutenant in our company besides other men. It was fearful to hear the
men groan when they were hit.

We finally drove the enemy back and took possession of the battle field. I remember
we halted where some of the Yankees had had their mess. The pots were on the fire
boiling their dinner.

I recall seeing one horse tearing down the road without a rider, his rider having
been shot. His horse was caught by some of our men, and an aid to the General took
possession of him.

This was the end of the Battle of Seven Pines.

and his family. Three generations of the Jones family lived here, the last being the
children of Henry Alexander Jones and Elizabeth Catherine Dunlap Jones.)

“The State* Newspaper, Columbia, S. C., August 25, 1950, carried the following
article about Mary Perry Dunlap Roddey. written on her 84th birthday:

“Mrs, W. J. Roddey of Rock Hill celebrated her 84th birthday today with many
members of her family about her - - children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren
at the family’s summer home in Montreat, N. C.

“Mrs. W. J. Roddey, formerly Miss Perry Dunlap, is the daughter of Elizabeth
Baskin and William Benjamin Dunlap. She was born in Lancaster on August 25, 1866,
where she lived until her marriage. Asa young girl in Lancaster, she was consid¬
ered the belle of that section.

“She was loved and admired by young and old, not only for her beauty, but for her
charming personality and lovely disposition, qualities by which she is still character¬
ized.

“She lives such a busy and useful life. It is not often that one can persuade her to
reminisce, but one of her loveliest stories is about the time she attended the St.
Cecilia ball in Charleston - - the costumes, the dances, and the people, most of whom
are long since gone.

“On August 6, 1890, Perry Dunlap married William Joseph Roddey and went to
make her home in Rock Hill, where she has lived continuously for the last 60 years.

“Here again, she has endeared herself to the whole community, where she is
affectionately known as ‘Mamma Joe’.

“Mrs. Roddy has always exemplified in her own life what she believes - - that a
woman’s first duty is her home. Her house was not only a home to her six children
but was a gathering place for the children of the community. Many dignified citizens
can still recall with pleasure the good times at ‘the Roddeys’ — inside on rainy days
outside on the sunny ones — playing anything from kick-the-can and stealing sticks
to baseball and tennis as they grew older.*

The various billy goats, hunting dogs, and the pony, “Dot,“ were also public prop¬
erty. Later, when “Dot* and the others of her tribe passed on, the family seven-
passenger automobile always had room for one more. Next to her home and family in
her affections comes her church. She reared her children to attend Sunday School and
church, and chose as the site for their summer home the conference ground of the
Southern Presbyterian Church at Montreat, N. C. The family were charter members of
the Oakland Avenue Presbyterian church of Rock Hill. Mr. W. J. Roddey, Jr., is at the

210

present time is clerk of the session. Mrs. Roddey, at 84, is a regular attendant at the
prayer meeting and Sunday morning services, the circles and the auxiliary meetings.

Of a decidedly sociable nature, Mrs. Roddey has never cared a great deal for club
work, although as a younger woman she was a member of the “Over The Tea Cups Club"
and United Daughters of the Confederacy. The only club affiliation she still retains is
that of the Garden club, which she enjoys thoroughly. She is a regular exhibitor at the
monthly meetings and the flower shows, constantly winning blue ribbons both in horti¬
culture and flower arrangements.

Her flower garden has always been dear to her heart. She is a real “dirt gardener"
and posseses the “green thumb." Her garden is beautiful. She always has something
lovely in bloom and it is a pleasure not only to herself, for, like all of her other posses¬
sions, she shares it with the town.

She is never too busy to stop and cut flowers to send to the sick, to a neighbor for a
party, or the the church for services or for weddings.

She always has a root, a cutting or some special seeds to help new gardeners and
her advice is always wonderful.

As a citizen, she is not found wanting. Besides contributing to society her fine sons
and daughters who have taken important places in their respective communities, she
always goes to the polls to cast her own vote. She reads the daily papers, listens to
her radio and is interestingly conversant on world affairs.

In 1915 she and Mr. Roddey entertained President Taft in their home overnight when
he came to Rock Hill to speak at Winthrop.

If Mrs. Roddey has a hobby, I would think it might be a love for playing games.

Almost any night except Sunday, if you drop in at her home you will be apt to find some
game going. She likes bridge and plays an exceptionally good hand. She also enjoys
Canasta, Chinese checkers, Forty-Two and Set-Back. The Dunlaps were a game-
loving family and she runs true to form.

To many of “Mamma Joe’s" admirers, her greatest and most recent accomplishments
is her mastery of the pressure cooker. She had never done very much cooking in her
life until she was almost 80 years old. Somebody gave her a pressure cooker and it
rang a bell. Now she can turn out the tastiest snack or the daintiest dish in the twin¬
kling of an eye, and always with delighted, sunny smile which makes one feel there
must be something wonderful about growing old after all.

211

She seems to say "Come and grow old with me. The best years are yet to be.”

If one would find a real description of this wonderful, versatile woman, as she appears
to those among whom she lives and moves in her daily life, read Proverbs, chapter 31,
verses 10-31: “Who can find a virtuous woman, for her price is far above rubies. . .
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellent them all. . . .*

Died: September 9. 1921

Children:

1. William Benjamin; birth, September 24, 1901

2. Betty Baskin; birth, April 30, 1907

He graduated from Erskine College, Due West, S. C., in 1891. He moved to Rock
Hill in 1892 and first engaged in the insurance business, later taking a place in the then
First National Bank. Later, on the organization of the National Union Bank, he was
made Assistant Cashier, and from that was promoted to Cashier, and then elected in
1916 to the Presidency of the Bank, which place he held at the time of his death, and
which institution he saw grow to be not only among the leaders in this part of the State,
but one of the strongest in the State. His high regard for honest, upright, straightforward
business dealings won him not only a most prominent place with the business interest of
this city and the general public at large, but throughout the entire State, and part of the
adjoining states. He made the National Union Bank a tremendous factor in this section.

Ira Dunlap was popular with every one. In fact, we doubt if he had an enemy in the
world. He was always identified with everything that was for the best interest of the
city or community. He was always decided in his opinions, and one could always know
just where he stood. If a thing looked the least off-color or questionable, he would
immediately say, “You can count me out on this. I don’t like its looks.” He was out¬
spoken in denouncing any schemes or questionable methods by any one under a pretense
of public interest. He believed in every one having a square deal no matter how large
or how small. Many are the men and the business that have been carried over from

212

what seemed inevitable ruin by his timely business advice and loans of money when all
other sources had failed.

In addition to being President of the National Union Bank, he was President of the
Rock Hill Grocery Co., Vice-President of the Mechanics Building and Loan Associa¬
tion and identified with other business interests of the city.

He had served as President of the State Bankers’ Association and his knowledge in
the line of business was recorded as being of the very highest class. He was Vice-
President of the Rotary Club of the city and he exemplied in his daily life the aims and
ideals of the Rotarian, “Service Above Self.” Truly dependable, his ample word was as
good as the Bible oath. . . a “Real Man.*

Not only was Mr. Dunlap identified with the best interest of this community from
a worldly or material standpoint, but he was also a Deacon and Elder in the Oakland
Avenue Presbyterian Church, and he was always found as ready to render services in
his church as in his business life.*

in the graded schools at Yorkville, S. C. 1898 - 1902. She is a

Christian women in the Witherspoon family.

Occupation: From 1909 - 1934 Herbert Dunlap and his twin brother, Walter M.

Dunlap, engaged in the practice of law under the firm name of
Dunlap & Dunlap.

213

Other information:

Herbert Dunlap moved with his parents to Rock Hill in 1891. He studied in
the local schools, Bank’s High School, Clemson College. He was a Spanish-
American War veteran, serving in Company G, First South Carolina Volun¬
teers as a lieutenant, he and his twin brother, Walter, being lieutenants in the
same company. He was one of the first Rotary Presidents in Rock Hill, and
at the time of his death, President of the York County Fair Association,

President of Mechanics Building and Loan Association, Rock Hill, S. C. and
Mayor of Rock Hill, S. C.

When the twins, Herbert and Walter, were very small, Herbert was badly
injured on a Rail Road Turn Table in Lancaster, S. C., and had to spend
several months in bed. Walter stayed in bed with him during the entire time,
each had his pet dog at the foot of the bed. They were identical, their best
friends could not tell them apart, and they counted their friends as legion.

At its session in February, 1934, the Rock Hill City Council adopted the following
tribute to the late Mayor H. M. Dunlap:

“One of God’s noblemen is no more, though his memory can never be effaced
from those who knew and loved him. Herbert M. Dunlap, Mayor of Rock Hill, distin¬
guished lawyer, beloved by a host of men, women and children, in the midst of his
great achievements, at the highest point of his valor, and in the maturity of his
wisdom, died on the 15th day of January, 1934. He was born at Lancaster, S. C.
on the 7th day of September, 1875, and came to Rock Hill in 1891, where he spent
all his life with the exception of the time he valiantly served his country during the
Spanish-American War.

After spending several years in business, he became a lawyer in 1909, and for
twenty five years successfully practiced his loved profession, gathering around him
a host of devoted followers and enthusiastic admirers. He was equal to every emergency,
because he possessed distinguishing characteristics of fearlessness, confidence in
himself and mankind, and, as a lawyer, he was unsurpassed in controversy, with a
fulness in his voice an earnestness in his manner, and a directness in his argument,
which won him many victories. He was genial and attractive, open and frank, and
generous almost to a fault, possessing innumerable friends who ever enjoyed his
happy and cheerful companionship.

214

The city of Rock Hill will never have a citizen more devoted to public service,
more beloved by people of every class; and his fine, cheerful life, will ever inspire
to nobler deeds and higher achievement all who knew him. Let these words in
memory of his life be set forth in the minute book of the City Council, published in
the press, and a copy sent to his beloved family where the domestic circle is broken
by his departure, to whom no sufficient words of consolation can be said.®

Church: Presbyterian. He was a Ruling Elder in the Oakland Avenue Presby¬
terian Church, Rock Hill, S. C., at the time of his death. He also
served as a Deacon before being elected to the Session. Other offices
he held included Superintendent of the Sunday School for several years,
President of the Men’s Bible Class in 1927.

Member of the First Presbyterian Church, Rock Hill, S. C.

Twin brother of Herbert.

“Moving with his family to Rock Hill in 1891, Senator Walter Dunlap studied at
the graded school, at Banks’ High School, and later at Clemson College. Giving up
his post as Secretary and Treasurer to the Manchester Cotton Mills, which is now
the Industrial Cotton Mills, Mr. Dunlap entered the Spanish-American War and

215

served as a first lieutenant in Company G which later became known as the Catawba
Rifles. After the War he was telegraph operator and agent at Denmark, S. C. and
St. Matthews, S. C., for the Southern Railway. At St. Matthews he began his law study,
later studying at the University of Virginia. In 1902 he entered the profession and
became connected with the law firm of Spencer and Dunlap. In 1908 Mr. Dunlap and
his twin Herbert formed the partnership of Dunlap and Dunlap. Their firm was one
of the best known in this part of the country, and the partners were affectionately
known as “the Dunlap twins." Mr. Dunlap was elected to the house of representatives
in 1931. However he resigned when he was elected to the State Senate to fill the
unexpired term of the late I. J. Campbell of Clover, and in 1932 he was re-elected
without opposition for a four -year term. A leader in the ranks of the Democratic
party, he represented the fifth congressional district at the National Democratic
Convention in 1912 when Woodrow Wilson was nominated as candidate for the presi¬
dency. During the lifetime of his twin brother, the late Mayor Herbert Dunlap ,

Walter and Herbert frequented many public gatherings together and it was a standing
joke friends had of confusing the two because of their very striking resemblance. The
story went that in their college days one would go to see the other’s sweetheart and

This Is His World

TITHE: IT’S GOD’S RENT
BY ROY COVINGTON
Observer Religion Editor

In fulfilling an assignment that calls upon them to inspire peoples of the world to
spiritually soar into a stratospheric “unworldline ss,” churches are confronted with an
ageless dilemma.

That is:

How to raise money— itself a standard of worldliness — to support a program that mini¬
mizes the importance of earthly possessions.

Charlotte’s First Methodist Church is no exception.

There is danger in stretching a point to say that its early history was shaped by fi¬
nances.

But conceivably, First Methodist could be standing where First Presbyterian now
stands had it not been for a lack of available resources.

First Methodist, the forerunner of the downtown churches, grew out of a Methodist
Society organized about 1814 by Dr. David Dunlap.

Dunlap, a grandson of Sugaw Creek Presbyterian’s famed Alexander Craighead, came
to Charlotte via Wadesboro and entered Methodism via Presbyterianism.

Ousted from the Presbyterian Church because he married the sister of his first wife
who had died in childbirth, he became a Methodist sparkplug.

At his request, town commissioners set aside the present First Presbyterian property
for use as community church property.

In a building erected there, Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians found an arrange¬
ment that was satisfactory, spiritually to them, at least.

But not to the bank which held notes on the unpaid portion of the mortgage. After
waiting for approximately 10 years it closed on the mortgage.

Presbyterians satisfied the debt and the Methodists and Baptists went looking elsewhere.

The congregation of First Methodist settled first at N. College and Seventh. It moved

later to where the Mayflower Hotel now stands.

build the present structure (1845). Both withdrew and William, Sr., with
Samuel (?) Lafferty and a Dickerson founded Nottingham Presbyterian Church,
but about that time Rev. William, Jr., moved to Trenton, Mo. It is told that an
emigrant waggon camped at this Church (pre-Civil War). The next morning
one of the emigrant children called at home to obtain some milk for their
seven children and reported that one of his brothers or sisters was very ill.
The Rev. William thought he had better go to the camp and investigate. Seeing
the child was very sick, he suggested they take it to his home and get a doctor,
which they did. It took a day or two to get the doctor there and when he came
he pronounced it “Small-pox.” The Dunlaps said ‘move in with us and we will

EPILOGUE

by Sir Walter Scott, a Dunlop descendant. From “The Lady of The Lake”

Harp of the North, farewell ! The hills grow dark,

On purple peaks a deeper shade descending;

In twilight copse the glow-worm lights her spark,

The deer, half seen, are to the covert wending.

Resume thy wizard elm! the fountain lending,

And the wild breeze, thy wilder minstrelsy;

Thy numbers sweet with nature’s vespers blending,

With distant echo from the fold and lea,

And herd-boy’s evening pipe and hum of housing bee.

Yet, once again farewell, thou Minstrel harp !

Yet once again, forgive my feeble sway,

A nd little reck I of the censure sharp
May idly cavil at an idle lay.

Much have I owed thy strains on life’s long way,

Through secret woes the world has never known,

When on the weary night dawn’d wearier day,

And bitterer was the grief devour’d alone.

That I o’erlive such woes, Enchantress! is thine own.

Hark! as my lingering footsteps slow retire,

Some Spirit of the Air has waked thy string !

’Tis now a seraph bold, with touch of fire,

’Tis now the brush of Fairy’s frolic wing.

Receding now, the dying numbers ring

Fainter and fainter down the rugged dell,

And now the mountain breezes scarcely bring
A wandering witch-note of the distant spell -

And now, ’tis silent all! - Enchantress, fare thee well!

APPENDIX A- 1

THE SCOTTISH CLAN OF CUNNINGHAM *

Our Dunlap ancestry can claim double Cunningham connexions. Our ancestor Alex¬
ander Dunlop who held the Dunlop lands from 1509 to 1547 married Ellen Cunningham.
Their son was James who married Isabel Hamilton. Their son was James who mar¬
ried Jean Sommerville. Their son was James who married Margaret Hamilton Camp¬
bell. Their son was James who married Elisabeth Cunningham, and he held the Dunlop
lands from 1634 to 1670. Their son was Alexander who held the Dunlap lands from 1670
to 1683; he married Antonia Brown. Their son was Captain Alexander Dunlop (1716-
1744) our Scottish-American ancestor.

Cunningham as a surname is taken from the district of that name in Ayrshire, and
the ancestor is stated to have been Wernibald, who received a grant of Kilmaurs in
Cunningham from Hugo de Morville, Constable of Scotland, 1140. Other traditions say
that Malcolm, the son of Freskin is the ancestor of the Cunninghams. Harvey de Cun¬
ningham is said to have fought at the Battle of Largs, 1263, and to have had a confirma¬
tion of Kilmaurs from Alexander n in 1264, and Hugh de Cunningham got the lands of
Lamburgton from Robert the Bruce, 1321. His grandson, Sir William, married the
heiress of Danielston of that Ilk, by which he acquired Finlaystoun, which became one
of the principal seats of the family. His grandson, Sir Alexander, was created Lord
Kilmaurs about 1462 and Earl of Glencairn, 1488. From his second son came the Cun¬
ninghams of Craigends, Robertland, and Auchinharvie. Robert, 2nd Laird of Kilmaurs,
was rejected of his claim of his father’s earldom, which was later revived for his
brother and heir, Cuthbert, 3rd Lord Kilmaurs and 2nd Earl of Glencairn. William,

3rd Earl, was captured at the rout of Solway Moss, but later released on undertaking
to promote a marriage between Edward VI and Mary, Queen of Scots. Alexander, 4th
Earl, was a friend of Reverend John Knox (1502-1572), and James, 6th Earl, was
famous for his feud with the Earl of Eglinton. William, 8th Earl, was Lord Justice-

* Sir Thomas limes of Learaey, The Tartans of the Clans and Families of Scotland (Edinburgh,
1947). p. 106.

295

General, and after the Restoration, Chancellor of Scotland. James, 13th £arl, sold
Kilmaurs in 1786. His brother, John 14th Earl, is celebrated as the good friend of the
poet Robert Burns, and since his passing the Earldom has been unclaimed.

The chieftainship is regarded as being in the House of Cunningham of Corsehill,
deriving from the Honourable Andrew Cunningham of Corsehill, second son of the 3rd
Earl of Glencairn. Sir Alexander, 7th Laird of Corsehill, was created a Baronet 1673,
and his representative, Sir William Montgomery Cunninghame, 11th Baronet, is re¬
garded as the present chief of the name of Cunningham, and rightful heir to the Earldom
of Glencairn. The Baronets of Robertland, created in 1630, came from the Craigends
branch, and Thomas Cunningham of Baidland, great-uncle of the 2st Lord Kilmaurs, was
father of Adam Cunningham, 1st Laird of Caprington, 1425, from whom is descended the
present Wallace Cunninghame, 15th of Caprington, which was erected into a feudal
barony by Mary, Queen of Scots.

Members and descendants of this clan may wear the Cunningham tartan. The Coat
of Arms may be found in Sir Thomas Innes of Learney’s The Tartans of the Clans and
Families of Scotland.

APPENDIX A-2

THE SCOTTISH CLAN OF HAMILTON *

The Dunlap Family can claim double connexion with this famous Scottish Clan of
Hamilton. James Dunlop married Isabel Hamilton; Isabel was a daughter of Gavin
Hamilton of Orbieston, Scotland. Their son was James who married Jean Sommerville.
Their son was James who married, 1614, Margaret Hamilton Campbell; Margaret
Hamilton Campbell Dunlop’s mother was a Hamilton of Clan Hamilton. Their son was
James who married Elisabeth Cunningham. Their son was Alexander who married
Antonia Brown. Their son was our Scottish-American ancestor Captain Alexander
Dunlop (1716-1744).

The first of the Hamiltons on record in Scotland was Walter Fitz-Gilbert from whom
is descended the Dukes of Hamilton. This gentleman witnessed the signing of a charter
in 1294, which conferred the monastery of Paisley the privilege of herring fishing in the
Clyde River. Walter was the governor of Bothwell Castle for the English government

* Robert Bain, The Clans And Tartans of Scotland (Glasgow, 1948), p. 146.

296

during part of the time of the Scottish War for Independence, but later joined forces
with Robert the Bruce from whom he received the Barony of Cadzow. The Hamilton
family remained loyal to the Crown and gained in importance. James, 6th of Cadzow,
was created Lord Hamilton in 1445. His second wife was the eldest daughter of King
James n, and widow of the Earl of Arran. James, his son, was created Earl of Arran
in 1503, and Duke of Chatelherault in France in 1549. His second son was made Mar¬
quis of Hamilton in 1599, and his fourth son was the ancestor of the Earls of Abercorn.
James, 3rd Marquis, was created Duke of Hamilton in 1643, and William, 2nd Duke,
died from wounds received at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. The latter was suc¬
ceeded by his niece, Anne, Duchess of Hamilton, who married Lord William Douglas,
and through whom the Hamilton titles passed to the Douglas family.

James Hamilton, grandson of the 2nd Earl of Arran, was created Earl of Abercorn
in 1606, and in 1790 a Marquessate was conferred on the 9th Earl, whose son the 2nd
Marquess was elevated to a Dukedom in 1868. Other principal families of the name of
Hamilton were those of: Raploch, Dalserf, Preston, East Lothian, Airdrie, Silverton-
hill, Lanarkshire, and the Earls of Haddington.

The present Duke of Hamilton is Douglas, 14th Duke of Hamilton, 11th Duke of
Brandon and Premier Peer of Scotland.

The crest is: In a ducal coronet an oak tree fructed and penetrated transversely in
the main stem by a frame saw, proper, the frame, or.

The members of this clan or descendants are entitled to wear the tartan of Clan
Hamilton and display its Coat of Arms (Armorial Bearings).

APPENDIX A-3

THE SCOTTISH FAMILY OF SOMMERVILLE *

We trace our Sommerville descent from Jean Sommerville who married James Dun¬
lop (born 1574); they had five sons. James Dunlop held his ancestral lands from 1596
until 1617.

The name Sommerville have various spellings: Somerville, Somervile, Sommmer-
vail, and Somervail. One authority says the name is taken from a town near Caen in
Normandy, Sumar’s or Somer’s estate.

* George Fraser Black, The Surnames of Scotland (New York, 1946), p. 737.

297

William de Somerville, first of the name in Scotland, came in the reign of King
David I, and received territories in Lanarkshire. There were five Williams in suc¬
cession, the last one dying in 1282. They appear as witnesses to charters to the re¬
ligious houses of Melrose, Kelso, Coldingham, Glasgow, Newbattle, and Paisley during
the reigns of King David I and King Malcolm IV, and William the Lion. One of these
Williams in the reign of William the Lion is reported to have killed a monstrous animal
or serpent which greatly devastated the district of Linton, Roxburghshire, and obtained
the lands of Linton as a reward. A rude sculpture on one of the walls of the Church
represents a horseman in complete armour in the act of driving his lance down the
animal’s throat. An inscription is affirmed to have run:

“The wode laird of Lariston
Slew the worm of Wormes glen,

And wan all Lintoun parochine.”

Robert de Sumeruilla witnessed a charter by Duncan, Earl of Fife, to the nuns of
Berwick about 1177 (CMN., 3). Ralph de Sumervilla, acolyte, was promoted to the
Church at Linton, 1255. Johan de Lynton of the county of Rokesburk, who rendered
homage, 1296 (Bain, II, p. 202), was most probably a Somerville as Lynton at that time
was a possession of that family. William Somerwele of the Plane, a charter witness in
Edinburgh, 1432 (HP., II, p. 193). John Semrell, tenant under the Abbey of Kelso, 1567
(Kelso, p. 530), and John Symmerwell was burgess-freeman of Glasgow, 1614 (Bur¬
gesses). They are nearly thirty different ways to spell Sommerville.

The Sommervilles were a powerful family at one time. They never were a clan in
the sense of the Highland Clans, nor did they adopt a tartan of their own.

APPENDIX A-4

THE SCOTTISH HIGHLAND CLAN CAMPBELL OF ARGYLL*

Our Dunlap ancestry can claim descent from the famous Highland Clan, Campbell of
Argyll. It was James Dunlop who married in 1614 Margaret Hamilton Campbell of the

* Frank Adam, The Clans , Septs , and Regiments of The Scottish Highlands (Edinburgh, 1952), pp.
205-208. See also Sir Thomas Innes of Leamey, The Tartans of the Clans and Families of
Scotland (Edinburgh, 1947), pp. 90-94. One branch of the Dunlap family in Scotland took the
name Campbell and ascended to the Dukedom of Argyll. The present Duke of Argyll is descended
from the Dunlaps of Dunlop. Miss Olivia Gertrude Dunlap of Jacksonville, Illinois, has the Coat
of Arms of the Campbells of Argyll, and this branch is entitled to wear the tartan of this famous clan.

298

Campbells of Argyll; he held the lands of Dunlop from 1617 to 1634. Their son was
James who married Elisabeth Cunningham. Their son was Alexander who married
Antonia Brown. Their son was Captain Alexander Dunlop (1716-1744) our Scottish-
American ancestor.

The Celtic name of Clan Campbell was Clan Duibhne. Diarmid O’Duine is regarded
as the ancestor of the Campbells, and in 1368 a Crown Charter acknowledges Duncan
MacDuibhne as progenitor of the Campbell lords of Lochow. Duncan appears to have
lived in the reign of King Alexander II and according to tradition, Eva Campbell, heiress
of Lochow and heretrix of Clan Duine, married Gillespie Campbell and from them de¬
scended Sir Colin Mor Campbell of Lochow, called “Cailein Mor,” from whom the suc¬
cessive chiefs derive the patronymic “MacCailein Mor.” This great chief was slain in
1294 at Alt-dearg of Lorn. His son, Sir Neil, was one of the earliest and most devoted
of the Bruce’s supporters, married Lady Marjorie Bruce, and for his son, Sir Colin,
the “duthus” of Lochow was in 1315 erected into a free barony.* His grandson, Sir
Colin Campbell, received the lands settled in tail male, with obligation to bear the
name and arms of Campbell, 1409. At his death in 1453 he was succeeded as 2nd Lord
Campbell by his son Colin, who was created Earl of Argyll, 1457, Justiciar and Cham¬
berlain of Cowal, 1472, founded the Highland burgh of Inverary, 1474, and was Lord
High Chancellor of Scotland, 1483. Archibald, 2nd Earl, commanded the right wing of
the Scottish army at Flodden Field and was slain. Colin, 3rd Earl, was created heredi¬
tary Lord Justice-General and Master of the Royal Household in Scotland in 1528, and
to the insignia of these great offices, placed saltireways behind MacCailean’s shield,
relate the motto: “I scarce call these things our own.” Archibald, 4th Earl, supported
the Reformation; his eldest son, Archibald, 5th Earl, proved the ruin of Mary Queen of

Scots by (having been appointed her Lieutenant-General), at Langside, “fainting” on the
field of battle. His brother Colin succeeded as 6th Earl, and was the father of Archi¬
bald, 7th Earl, who having been sent to seize “the Popish earls” (Huntly, Erroll, and
Angus) was defeated at Glenlivet, 1594, and left the field in tears, and on returning to
report his defeat, the pawky James VI observed of Huntly: “Fair fa’ ye, Geordie
Gordon, for sending him back lookin’ sae like a subject.” He subsequently rendered
himself hateful to the other clans by ruthless persecution of the Macgregors, and the
execution, under trust, of Macgregor of Glenstrae and seven of his clan in 1604. His
brutality to Clan Macgregor led to a similar commission against Clan MacDonald,
supported by English ships-of-war, in 1613, soon after which he slunk abroad and,
overcome by remorse, joined the Church of Rome. It was he who laid the foundation of
the hatred and mistrust of the Campbells among the other Highland clans. His son was
Archibald, 8th Earl, who was created Marquis of Argyll in 1641 and was in command of
the Covenanters’ army during the civil war. He helped restore Charles II to Scotland
and placed the crown on his head and helped to bring about the Restoration. He was
beheaded in 1661 because he had been too influential in the councils and armies during
the rebellion. His son was restored as 9th Earl, 1663, but was condemned in 1681. He
supported Monmouth’s rebellion in 1685 and was beheaded. He is the subject of the
famous painting “Argyll’s Last Sleep.” His eldest son, Archibald, 19th Earl, was
created Duke of Argyll to him and his heirs male, 1701 (he was one of the most coura¬
geous and truthful statesmen in Scotland). He died 1703 and his eldest son John, 2nd
Duke of Argyll and Greenwich, 1719, was the celebrated Field- Marshal and statesman
who brought about the accession of King George I. His brother and heir was Archibald,
3rd Duke, who had been a distinguished judge as Lord Islay; he was succeeded by his
cousin, John Campbell of Mamore, 4th Duke, from whom descend the subsequent dukes,
including George, 8th Duke, the historian, and the 9th Duke, who married Princess
Louise, Queen Victoria’s daughter. The present chief of the clan is the 11th Duke of
Argyll. The seat of the Duke of Argyll is Inveraray Castle, Loch Fyne.

The Slogan is: “Cruachan” (a mountain near Loch Awe). The Badge is: Roid (Wild
Myrtle) or Garbhag an t-sleibhe (Fir Club Moss). The Coat of Arms of Campbell of
Argyll may be found in Sir Thomas Innes of Learney’s book (Op. Cit.). Members and

300

descendants of this famous and influential clan may wear the Campbell of Argyll
tartan. *

APPENDIX A-5

THE SCOTTISH FAMILY OF BROWN * *

Alexander Dunlop, who held the Dunlop lands from 1670 until 1683, married Antonia
Brown. Captain Alexander Dunlop (1716-1744) was one of their many sons.

George Fraser Black, in his Surnames of Scotland (p. 107), says that Brown was and
is a very common name in Scotland, and has more than one origin.

The name may be spelled many different ways: Braun, 1676; Bron, 1446; Brouin,
1546; Broun, 1320; Broune, 1502; Browne, 1509; Browyn, 1525; Brune, 1333; Brwune,
1505. The earliest record of the name appears about 970 A.D. as Brun. It is found in
Old English charters.

The name Brown may have come from some of the Lamont Clan who changed their
names to Brown and White in troublous times.***

Again we find on record that Brown is a fully recognised sept name of Clan Mac¬
millan and those who rightfully bear this name may wear the tartan and display the
arms of that clan.****

* Other branches which sprung from the Campbells of Argyll are: Breadalbane, Cawdor
(Calder), and Loudoun.

APPENDIX A-6

THE SCOTTISH HIGHLAND CLAN MACFARLANE *

Captain Alexander Dunlop (1716-1744) married Anne MacFarlane (1715-1786), who
was born in Scotland, and was a daughter of the Chief of Clan MacFarlane whose name
was Caleb; his title was MacFarlane of MacFarlane. The MacFarlanes have no clan
territory. The limitations of the chiefly honours is to “heirs” (general) (Lyon Regis¬
ter), so the chieft is to be sought in the female line. Seats of this ancient clan were:
the Castle of Arrochar (Loch Long), the Castles of Ellanbui and Inveruglas, on islands
of Loch Lomond.

After her husband’s death in 1744, at the age of 28 she married Captain Robert
Bratton, a Captain who had seen service in the French and Indian War.

The Gaelic is “ MacPharlain,” meaning “son of Parian.” Malcolm Macpharlane was
one of the witnesses to a charter by Ywar Cambell of Strachur to Duncan, Earl of
Leuenax about 1385. In 1395 Duncan filius Malcolm Makfarlane had a charter from
Duncan, Earl of Levenax. Andrew MacFarlane of Aracher was admitted burgess free¬
man of Glasgow gratis in 1577.**

“The ancestor of the Macfarlanes of Kirkton was George MacFarlane of Markinch,
second son to Andrew Macfarlane of that Ilk, in the reign of King James V. George
having sold the foirsaid lands of Markinch, went afterwards and settled in the north
Highlands amongst his namesakes the Macfarlanes, promiscuously called the Irish
((Gaelic)) language, M’Allans, Allanach, or Clan Allan, i.e., the posterity of Allan,
because of their descent from Allan Macfarlane, a younger son to one of the lairds
of Macfarlane, who settled in Strathdonn, Aberdeenshire, several centuries ago.

From him are descended the families of Auchorrachan, Balnengown, Lismurdie, etc.,
as also several others in Braemar and Strathspey.”***

321-322.

York, 1946), p. 492.

*** Nimmo, History of Stirlingshire, 3 ed., 1880, p. 100, quoted in George Fraser Black, 0£. Cit.,
p. 492.

302

Robert Macfarlane (1815-1883), born in Rutherglen, was for 17 years editor of the
Scientific American. Makfarland and Makferlande, 1546; M’Farlen, 1603; Mcfarling,
1668; M’Farling, 1663; Makferlan, 1529; McKfarlen, 1728; McFerlane, 1612; and Mac-
Pharheline, 1610.*

The MacFarlanes were descended from the old Celtic Earls of Lennox, and occupied
the land forming the western shore of Loch Lomond from Tarbet upwards. From Loch
Sloy, a small sheet of water near the foot of Ben Voirlich, they took their war cry of
“Loch Sloigh.” The ancestor of the clan was Gilchrist, brother of Maldowen, the third
Earl of Lennox. Gilchrist’s grandson was Bartholomew, which in Gaelic is “Parian,”
from whom the clan are designed - the letters “Ph” in “MacPharlain” sounding like “F”
in Gaelic. In 1373 the death of Donald, the sixth and last of the old Earls of Lennox,
without male issue, left the Chief of the Clan MacFarlane the male representative of
the old Lennox family. The claim was disputed, and ultimately the Earldom of Lennox
was conferred on Sir John Stewart of Darnley, who married Elisabeth, one of the
daughters of the last Earl of Lennox of the old line. The resistance of the MacFarlanes
to the “Stewart” Earls of Lennox would appear to have been the beginning of the end of
their destruction as a clan. That the MacFarlanes were not totally deprived of their
lands was in consequence of the marriage of Andrew, head of one of the cadet branches,
to the daughters of John Stewart, Earl of Lennox. By this union Andrew MacFarlane
obtained possession of the clan territory of Arrochar. His son, Sir John MacFarlane,
assumed in 1493 the designation of Captain of the Clan MacFarlane, then equivalent to
“Chief,” and the style MacFarlane of that Ilk was in 1672 officially recognised; and in
the 18th century, Walter Macfarlane of that Ilk obtained the armorial insignia of the
Chief settled on his heirs-general, but since 1866 the chiefship has been dormant, no
one having claimed or obtained signature for the Chief of Arms.**

The Badge of Clan MacFarlane is Cranberry and Cloudberry. Members and de¬
scendants of this clan may wear the MacFarlane tartan. The Coat of Arms (or

Armorial Bearings) maybe found in Lyon Register, I, 184. It is described:

“Arms: A saltire waved or engrailed (the actual entry in Lyon Register is illegible
owing to decay of the parchment and ink at that point) and cantoned with four roses
gules (being the original bearings of the Lennoxes).

Crest: A demi-savage holding a shear of arrows in his right hand and pointing with
his left to an imperial crown.

Supporters: Two Highlanders in their native garb, armed with broadswords and
bows proper (in the last matriculation they are blazoned “brandishing their broad¬
swords aloft” and stand on a compartment wavy).

Mottes: over escutcheon, “This I’ll defend,” and under escutcheon, on a compart¬
ment wavy, “Loch Sloy.””

Mrs. Esther Mae Winget Warner states:

“One of the first with a definite record is Gilchrist, son of Alwyn, second Earl of
Lennox. He had a brother, Earl Malduin from whom he obtained lands and barony
of Arrochai about 1225.”

Our MacFarlane genealogy is as follows:

1 Gilchrist, son of Alwyn, second Earl of Lennox.

2 Duncan.

3 Malduin, who fought in the service of King Robert Bruce.

4 Pharlan.

5 Malcolm MacFarlane. He designated himself MacFarlane. This is the first
time the surname is used.

6 Duncan MacFarlane. He married Christian Campbell who belonged to the
famous Clan Campbell.

7 John MacFarlane (born in 1500’s). He married Jean Mure, a daughter of
Sir Adam Mure, and a sister of the first wife of King Robert II of Scotland.

7 Thomas MacFarlane.

8 Duncan MacFarlane. He came to British-America, 1718.

8 Daniel MacFarlane. He came to British-America, 1718.

8 Caleb MacFarlane. He came to British-America, 1718. He was the last
Chief of the Clan in Scotland; his lands were proscribed and he and his
two daughters were forced to flee to Pennsylvania.

THE SCOTTISH HIGHLAND CLAN OF MEANS (MENZIES)

The Means family name is of Norman origin being originally de Meyners. In Eng¬

Menzies is descended from a Gaelic -speaking race, the chiefs being of Lowland origin.
Skene, another historian, says the same. The name occurs in charters during the
reign of William the Lion and the reign of Alexander II. In 1250 Robert de Meyners,
Knight, was Lord High Chamberlain of Scotland. Sir Robert’s son, Alexander, was pos¬
sessor of the lands of Weem, Aberfeldy, and Fortingal, in Atholl, Glendochart, in
Breadalbane, as well as Durisdeer, in Nithsdale. Robert, the elder son of Alexander,
inherited these with the exception of Fortingal which Thomas the younger brother se¬
cured. From Alexander’s eldest son descended Sir Robert de Mengues, Knight, whose
lands were erected into the Barony of Menzies in 1487. His descendant, Sir Alexander
Menzies of Castle Menzies, was in 1665 created a Baronet of Nova Scotia. From him
was descended the late Sir Neil Menzies of Menzies, who died without issue, when the
baronetcy expired, and his sister, Miss Egidia Menzies of Menzies became chieftainess
of the clan. Another family was Menzies of Pitfoddels, dating back to the 14th century.
The Clan Menzies fought for Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn. At the time of the
Revolution in 1688 the Chief of the Clan Menzies favoured the new Government. Dur¬
ing the Rising of 1715 the Menzies were out for Bonnie Prince Charlie. In the Rising
of 1745 the chief of the clan took no action, though the clan was out under Menzies of
Shian. To a Menzies Scotland is indebted for the introduction of the larch tree, which
is found all over the Highlands. The first larch trees were grown from seven seedlings
brought in 1738 from the Tyrol by Menzies of Culdares. The House of Culdares (the
seat is at Arndilly) is now regarded as the chief, and while Castle Menzies was dis¬
posed of by Sir Neil’s creditors, the clan has acquired and holds as its headquarters
the old Kirk of Weem, where the monuments of the chiefs are to be seen.*

The Badge of Clan Menzies (Means) is Uinnseann (Ash); Menzies Heath. The Slogan
is “Geal is Dearg a suas” (“Up with the White and Red”). The Coat of Arms (or Ar¬
morial Bearings) may be found in Lyon Register, I, 186. It is described:

“Arms: Argent, a chief gules.

Crest: A savage’s head erased proper.

Supporters: Two savages wreathed around the head and loins proper.

Motto: (over) “Will God I shall. ” ”

THE SCOTTISH FAMILY OF SNODGRASS

Snodgrass is an Ayrshire surname derived from the twenty shilling lands of old ex¬
tent of Snodgers or Snodgrasse in the parish of Irvine and bailliary of Cunningham.
Adam Snorgyrs appears as bailie of Are in 1372 (ER., II, p. 486), and Patrick Snod¬
grass was admitted burgess freeman of Glasgow in 1578 (Burgesses). The name is
found in Glasgow Protocol Books as Snodgers (1556), and Margaret Snodgers was re¬
corded heir of John Snodgers, maltman and burgess of Glasgow, in 1621 (Inquis., 972).
Andrew Snodgrasse in the Bridgeend of Glasgoq was released from imprisonment in
1679 on signing a bond not to take up arms (RPC., 3 ser. VI, p. 296), Neil Snodgras ap¬
pears as notary in Paisley in 1684 (ibid., IX., p. 321), and Hew Snodgrass, William
Snodgrass, and John Snodgrass too the Test in the same town in 1686 (ibid., XI, p.496).

The Snodgrass family moved to Virginia in the early 18th century and settled in
Augusta County, Virginia, later Bottetourt County, Virginia. I can find no mention of
the Snodgrass family being a Clan or a sept of a Clan.

APPENDIX A-9
THE SCOTTISH FAMILY GAY

Ensign Robert Dunlap (1740-1781) married Mary Gay, a daughter of William and
Mary Walkup Gay of North Ireland, a granddaughter of Reverend William Gay of Belfast,
North Ireland, who came to Virginia and settled at Gay’s Run.

The name Gay is found in the County of Angus, Scotland, in the 15th century, and in
the County of Fify, 17th century (Scots Kith and Kin, Clan House, 117 Grove Street,
Edinburgh, Scotland).

Professor George Fraser Black says in his Surnames of Scotland:

“GAY. John Gy, chaplain in Dundee, 1452, may be John Gy who appears as presbyter
in Brechin, 1458 (REB., I, 156; II, 99). George Gaii was church elder in Dysart in
1641 (PBK., p. 209), and David Gay and Alexander Gay, sailors, were burgesses of
the same burgh in 1661 (inquis., 4465). Janet Gay in Nethertoun of Crawfordjohn in
1682 and five more of the name appear in Lanark Commissariot Record, and Wil¬
liam Gay was horsehirer in Dumfries in 1781 (Dumfries). The name if found in
England in first half of the twelfth century. It may be a descriptive name, ‘light-
spirited.’ Adam le Gay and Robert le Gay appear in co. Oxford in 1273 (Bardsley).”
The Gay family moved to North Ireland during the Ulster Plantation. I can find no
mention of the Gay family being a Clan or a sept of a Clan.

APPENDIX A-10

THE SCOTTISH FAMILY OF ALEXANDER *

The Honourable Alexander Dunlap (1764-1841) married a lady, descended from the
ancient family of Alexander of Scotland, Jane, in 1795. We are not certain just when
this family arrived in British- America, but we can surmise that Jane Alexander’s
grandfather, Captain James Alexander, Sr. (died 1778), who served in the Old French
War, came to the Colonies before 1740; he was a commissioner or a trustee of the
Tinkling Springs Presbyterian Church in Augusta County, Virginia. Jane Alexander
was born in 1775, the daughter of James Alexander, Jr. (1750-1814) and Isabella
Erskine Alexander; he took part in the Battle of Point Pleasant, October 10, 1774.** ***
Alexander means “defender of man” (Greek). Miss Yonge has pointed out in her
History of Christian Names that nowhere is the name Alexander so thoroughly national
as in Scotland, into which country it was introduced by Queen Margaret, wife of King
Malcolm Ceannmor, from the Hungarian Court, where she was brought up. So popular
became the name in Scotland that Alexander in its diminutive form, “Sandy,” is even
more the national name than “Donald.” ** *

As a surname Alexander is very common on the west coast, where, according to the
authors of Clan Donald, some of the descendants of Godfrey, second son of Alastair
Mor, appear to have settled in the Carrick districts of Ayrshire, and several terri¬
torial families of Macalexander from this stock were prominent in that region, e.g.,
the MacAlexanders of Daltupene, Dalreoch, Corsclays, etc. About the end of the 17th
century they dropped the “Mac.” The Alexanders of Menstrie claimed to be connected
with the Clan Donald and to be closely allied in blood with the Macallisters of Loup.
Gilbert, son of Donald, son of Alastair Mor, got a grant of lands in Stirlingshire in
1330. There is no further trace of this family until the beginning of the 16th century,

when they are found settled in Clackmannanshire. William Alexander was connected
with the accounts of the city of Edinburgh, 1435. Robert Alexander was a granger in
Feichly and Drummelochy in Strathdon, 1438, and the name is of frequent occurrence
in the Moray rentals in the first half of the 18th century. The name was early adopted
into Gaelic, appearing as Alaxandair in the Gaelic genealogical manuscript of 1467 (now
spelled Alasdair), and as a patronymic it appears as Mac Alasdair, whence the well-
known Macalister, Macallister, etc. Alexander, 1501; Alisandre, 1424; Alisschonder,
1536; Alschinder, 1546; Alschoner, 1613; Alschunder, 1581; Alshander, 1581; Alshunder,
1597; and Alsinder, 1539.*

The Coat of Arms of the Alexander family has as its motto: “Per Mare Per Terras.”
The Macalister Clan adopted the same motto; however the Coat of Arms differ widely.
The Badge of the Macalisters is: “Fraoch gorm” or “Common Heath.”

Members of this Clan and its descendants may wear the tartan of Clan Macalister,
MacDonald, or MacDonell of Glengarry. The present chief of Clan Macalister is
Lt. Col. Charles Godfrey Somerville MacAlester of the Loup and Kennox, who suc¬
ceeded to the chiefship in 1903; his residence is Kennox, Ayrshire. The present chief
of Clan MacDonell of Glengarry is Ranald Macdonell, 21st Chief.**

Mr Oren F. Morton, in his work A History of Monroe County, West Virginia, tells
us that the Alexander family was the first to settle where the county seat was estab¬
lished, Union (Monroe County, West Virginia). Owing also to its intermarriages with
other prominent families of Monroe County, the Alexander connexion has been very
noted in the local annuals. James Alexander, Sr., who lived in Beverly Manor, is men¬
tioned there as early as 1746, and was a captain in the Old French War. James Alex¬
ander, Jr. visited this region before his settlement in 1773. He located on land which
he understood was to be conveyed by a man from Pennsylvania, but that individual
failed to show up. His first home was constructed on the hill just east of Union. The
second year he started for the Valley, and from the summit of a knob the couple saw
their cabin in flames. It was the year of the Dunmore War. The second home was

built on what became the main street of Union, and the third “Old Hundred,” was low
down on the west slope of Green Hill. It was later the home of Matthew Alexander, and
was burnt, about 1907. The cemetery at the top of the knob is on land granted by the
pioneer. He was a member of the Greenbrier Court, 1784, and was sherriff, 1793. Two
years before Union was formed he took out a tavern license. His wife was Isabella
jErskine, of Scottish descent.*

When Monroe County was organised it had nearly 4,000 people, and not even a vil¬
lage. A mile from the courthouse to the south James Byrnside had made a home about
1762. In 1774, James Alexander, Jr., a young man of 24, built his cabin a little north
of the town. He sold a part of his land to Michael Erskine. Even in 1799 there does not
appear to have been any dwelling within the present town limits except that of Alexander
himself. That this farm became a town was entirely because it was selected for the
seat of government of the new county. On the second day of the first term of the Mon¬
roe court, Alexander entered into a bond to convey one acre as a courthouse lot and ten
acres adjoining as a town site. The bond was made out in favour of William Haynes,
John Gray, John Byrnside, James Handley, and James Alexander, acting as town
trustees. The sherriff was then ordered to let out the building of a log courthouse and
a stone jail. In 1806 James Alexander, Jr., deeded one acre for a courthouse lot and
25 acres for a town site, so long as the ground should be used for such purposes.**

Some descendants of Captain James Alexander, Sr. (died 1778):

1 Captain James Alexander, Sr. (died 1778).

APPENDIX A-ll
THE SCOTTISH CLAN ERSKINE

Isabella Erskine married James Alexander, Jr. (1750-1814). Their daughter was
Jane Alexander (1775 - ), who married, 1795, the Honourable Alexander Dunlap

(1764-1841). Isabella Erskine, we are led to believe, was the daughter of Henry and
Jean Thompson Erskine, immigrants from Scotland to Cecil County, Maryland.
Isabella’s brother was Michael Erskine, a close neighbour to James Alexander, and
he purchased a section of his land. Michael Erskine married Margaret, a widow of
Captain James Paulee (or Pauley), after her return from a captivity among the Indians;
her maiden name was Handley. Michael Erskine died in 1812. The children of Michael
Erskine and Margaret Handley Paulee Erskine were:

1. Henry Erskine. He married Agatha _ . He lived at Lewisburg where he

died in 1847.

2. William Erskine. He married Margaret Benson, 1810. He lived at Salt Sulphur,
where he was in partnership with Isaac Caruthers in a summer resort for many
years.

3. Alexander Erskine. He went to Alabama.

4. Michael Erskine, Jr. He went to Texas.

5. Jane Erskine. She married Hugh Caperton, 1806.

A cousin to the above Erskines was Elisabeth (1776 - ) who married Michael

Bickett* **

The name Erskine is of territorial origin from the barony of the same name in Ren-
frewshire, Scotland. Henry de Erskyn who witnessed a confirmation by King

Alexander II of a grant by Amelec, brother of Maldoven, Earl of Lennox, of the Church
of Rosneath to the Abbey of Paisley in 1225, is probably the first of the name on record.
John de Irskyne witnessed a donation by Adam dictus Carpentarius of the land of Ald-
hingleston (or Haldhingleston), c. 1260. Sir John de Ireskin, knight, witnessed a sale of
land in Glasgow, c. 1280-1290. Johan de Irskyn of the county of Lanark rendered
homage in 1296. His seal bears a stag’s head cabossed, between the antlers a small
four-footed animal passant to sinister. John de Herchyn witnessed a charter by King
David II to Robert Erskyn. Robert de Erskyne witnessed an Aberdeen charter of 1361.
Robert Erschin was canon of Glasgow in 1491. Rachel Askine lived in Newstead.

George Erskine was a tailor in Irvine, 1666. A 15th century French spelling of the
name is Hasquin, and in the lists of the Scots Guards in France it appears as Assequin.
Another French spelling is provided by Voltaire, who in his Letters on the English Na¬
tion wrote it “Hareskins.” A common pronunciation in the 18th century was Arskine.

A common Scots pronunciation is “Askin” which is also the spelling used by Sir James
Melville in his Memoirs in referring to Arthur Askin, master stabler to the queen.

1359; Hirskyne, 1357; and Irskine, 1361. Froissart spells the name Aversequin,
Auermesquin, and Auernesquin.

The Erskine Clan was loyal to Robert the Bruce, to whom they were related by
marriage. Sir Robert de Erskine was Great Chamberlain of Scotland, ambassador to
England and France, and held many important national offices. He exchanged with King
David II Strathgartney for the lands of Alloa; he died in 1385. Sir Robert Erskine as¬
sumed the title of Earl of Mar in 1435, but his son Sir Thomas Erskine, was dispos¬
sessed of it in 1457, and in 1467, he was created Lord Erskine. John, fourth Lord
Erskine, had in care the infant Mary Queen of Scots in Stirling Castle, Inchmahome,
and then took her to France; he died in 1552. His daughter was the mother of the
Regent Murray; his son, Alexander, was the ancestor of the Earls of Kellie. John,
fifth Lord Erskine, was confirmed in the Earldom of Mar; he died in 1572. In 1715 the
Earldom of Mar was forfeited when John, the eleventh Earl, formed a party as leader
in the Jacobite Rising.

313

The Erskines of Dun descended from the Erskines of Erskine when Sir Thomas re¬
ceived a charter of the Barony of Dun from King Robert II in 1376. A large number of
the family of Dun fell at Flodden Field, and after several decades the estate of Dun
passed to the Marquis of Ailsa in 1793. His second son, John, inherited the property
and assumed the name Erskine. The Erskines of Alva are descended from the House
of Mar are now represented by the Earls of Rosselyn. James Erskine, son of the
seventh Earl of Mar, acquired the Earldom of Buchan by marrying the Countess of
Buchan. Walter John, Earl of Mar and Kellie is chief of the Erskines; his seats are at
Alloa and Kellie Castle, Fife. The ancient Earldom was confirmed to John Francis
Goodeve-Ershine as 29th Earl, and has devolved on Lionel Young- Erskine, as 35th
Earl from Gillocher, Normaer of Mar in the days of King David I.*

Members and descendants of this clan may wear the Erskine tartan. The Coat of
Arms (or Armorial Bearings) may be found in Lyon Register, III, 67. It is described:
“Arms: Quarterly. 1 and 4, Azure a bend between six cross-crosslets or. 2 and 3,
Argent a pile sable.

Crest: (ancient) on a cap of dignity, gules doubled ermine, two wings erected and
addorsed, azure, each charged with a bend between six cross-crosslets or.
Supporters: Two griffins argent. *

The Crest: a dexter arm couped at the elbow, and erect, grasping a club, all proper.
Motto is over the escutcheon: “Je pense plus.”

THE SCOTTISH FAMILY OF HANNA

Myrtle Lee Dunlap (1901-1949) was the first daughter of James Brady Dunlap (1882-
1954) and Margie Childers (Childress) (1883-1910) Dunlap. She married Julian Anton
Hanna (1898 - ) August 1, 1924; to this union three children were born: Reverend

James Arthur M., 1925; Marion (infant boy, 1929); Grace Lorraine, 1931.

The Hanna Family began in the 12th century (c. 1150) with its progenitor Patrick

* Sir Thomas Innes of Leamery, Op. Cit., p. 122. See also Robert Bain’s The Clans and Tartans

Hanna, who was the first Lord of Sorbie in southwest Scotland.* The Hannas, like the
Dunlaps, were originally Pictish or Scottish; they were not Anglo-Normans. Gilbert de
Hannethe of the county of Wiggeton (Wigton) rendered homage, 1296, and in the same
year as Gilbert Hahanith was jurior on an inquest concerning the succession to Elena
la Zuche in Scotland. John of Hanna was master of a ship of King James of Scotland.
John Hanay was a witness in Glasgow, 1477. Robert Ahannay of Castle Sorbie had pre¬
cept of office of curatory, 1499. A “brew caldron” was stolen from Ellen Hannay, 1514.
James Ahannay was the king’s culverner, 1529. John Ahanny was baker to the queen,
1566. The “knaiffscheipes” of the mills of Melrose were vacant by the death of Mathew
Ahanney, 1565. Thomas Hannaye, smith, was made burgess freeman of Glasgow at the
request of the archbishop of Glasgow, 1575. David Hanna was tenant in the barony of
Mousewall (Mousewald), 1673. Canon James Hanna, Dean of Edinburgh Cathedral, at¬
tempted to read the Anglican liturgy before Jenny Geddes in St. Giles Church in Edin¬
burgh, 1637, and was forced to flee to his chamber when she hurled a stool at his feet.
In the early 17th century a feud broke out between the Hannas of Castle Sorbie and the
Murrays of Broughton, which appears to have ended in the ruin of the former family.
The name may be spelt many ways: Hanna, Hannah, Hannay, Hannethe, Ahannay, Hana,
Hanay, Hanaye, or Ahanna. In North Ireland the name is commonly spelt Hanna; in the
United States and Canada and other British possessions we find the spelling Hanna or
Hannay. In Scotland today the spelling of the name Hanna, Hannah, and Hannay, is
widely used.* *

* The Hanna Family, being a Lowland Clan, does not have a tartan of its own; however, because
of the intermarriage with Highlanders they may adopt the tartan of their wife’s clan. One
branch of the Hanna Family wore the Scott tartan because of intermarriage with the Scotts in
the early 19th century. Hannas in general have been known to wear the Stewart tartan as this
clan looks with favour upon their tartan being displayed. The Hannas served the House of
Stewart well in its early history and several intermarriages are recorded.

** George Fraser Black, Op. Cit., p. 341.

315

Most Hanna families have adopted the Coat of Arms of Hanna of Sorbie. The Hanna
Coat of Arms is described in Burk’s Encyclopaedia of Heraldry as follows:

“Ar. three roebucks copued az. collared ir. a bell pendant from each collar gu.
crest, a cross crosslet fitche issuing out of a crescent sa. supporters, two roebucks
ppr. motto: Per ardu ad alta, ‘Through difficulties to high places.’” * **

The Sorbie Coat of Arms of the Hannay (Hanna) Family was used by the Kirkdale
branch, the Mochran branch, the Grennan branch, the Knock branch, and the Cairnhill
branch. The Kirkcudbright branch and the Kingsmuir branch used the same Coat of
Arms with the motto: “cresco et spero,” and the Ballhouston branch also used the
same Coat of Arms with the motto: “per ardu in collum.” The London branch substi¬
tuted goats coupled for the roebucks couped on its coat of arms. After a part of the
family had removed from Scotland and settled in Ulster, the Newry branch of the Hanna
Family was organised, and the Coat of Arms of Sorbie was adopted with the addition of
a scroll of hands clasped couped inserted between the crest and the shield and the
motto was changed to: “ad alta virtue,” to indicate that branch. The selection of the
roebuck deer as an emblem on the escutcheon is significant, for these deer pair for
life and live in families.* *

James Hanna (1749-1813) was the Scottish-American ancestor of many Hannas today;
he was a grandson of the Hannas of Castle Sorbie. He migrated, with his family, from
Ulster to Pennsylvania before 1760. He died at Canonsburgh, Pennsylvania, and is
buried there, 1813. He married Anne Campbell (1760-1833), who was descended from
the Clan Campbell of Argyll. They had twelve children, most of whom grew up and had
large families of their own. The Hanna Family was Presbyterian in Scotland, Ulster,
and British-America; even today wherever Hannas are found the majority of them are

of this denomination. One of their twelve children was Moses Hanna.

Moses Hanna was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, in 1799, and died in
Washington County, Ohio, in 1879. He married a lady of Scottish descent, Mary Elisa¬
beth Watson, whose ancestors were connected with the Highland Clan Buchanan. They
had six children; the first son was named John Watson Hanna.

John Watson Hanna was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, in 1823, and died
in Clarington, Monroe County, Ohio, in 1850. He married a lady of Scottish descent,
Mary Elisabeth Bonar, whose ancestors were allied with the Highland Clan Graham,
They had two children: John Denning and Mary Elisabeth (1847-1924). Both John
Watson Hanna and his young wife died of typhoid fever in the summer of 1850, and the
two small children were reared by their grandparents, i.e., the Watsons.

APPENDIX C

CLERGYMEN IN THE DUNLAP FAMILY

The Scottish father and mother longed for one of their sons to become a “man of the
cloth.” Perhaps this longing came from the ingles ide of a Scottish mother who worked,
watched, and prayed for the welfare of her hardy sons and daughters. The list of
clergymen in our historic family makes the Scotch heart beat a wee bit faster. The
pioneer ministers were called from the ranks of men who dug peat, mined, handled
trow ells on walls, hammered iron on anvils, squared timber with giant axes; however,
many were called from the lowlands as well as from the highlands while tending their
flocks. These “men of the cloth” were never slip- shod in their training. They dili¬
gently prepared themselves in an academic undertaking no matter how hard the school¬
ing appeared. In so doing they could better communicate a fervour that had academic
meaning in the best Scotch (and Genevan) tradition. They were well equipped “to preach
an ancient Gospel to a modern world.”

A brief biography of these clergymen would be vibrant with informality and humour.
The minister who wore the silken black gown and the Genevan bands (tabs) was not al¬
ways the dour Scot as many would have us believe. Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the
Carolinas were British possessions wherein Ayrshire and Ulster and the Highlands
were always around the corner. The first and second generation Scotsman was still a
member of three spheres of influence, i.e., Scotland, Ulster, and America, and indeed
until this very day his descendants so remains!

The Scotch Presbyterian cleric always knew that breeds and bloodstreams figured
in history. Many a minister in the new world had behind him a saga of adventure, hard
labour, recreation, and heart-break, all that have gone into his share in the making of
his parish. Indeed, a great deal of old fashioned virtues lay behind the clerical attire
and a noble horse. Most of the educated ministers possessed land and forest, along
with their brains, The Psalms of David, enterprise, and brawn. Some one has written
that at the beginning the Indian chief lived hardly more simply than the first settlers.

God, in His infinite wisdom, has been and is gracious in selecting from the Dunlaps
many of his ministers. Though hundreds do not bear the family name their mothers

323

and grandmothers and great-grandparents were of the Dunlap heritage and they are
entitled to it, as much as a Scotsman, who does not even bear the Scottish family name,
is entitled to wear the tartan of his Scotch ancestor no matter how remote!

May the teachings of Jesus Christ, as they are interpreted by John Calvin and John
Knox and the Westminster Confession of Faith, be kept pure by the House of Dunlap
through its clergymen today and forever !

APPENDIX E

DUNLAP-MacKEE-HUTCHINSON-GORDON CONNEXIONS

A letter, dated January 4, 1940, to mother from our second cousin, Mrs. Josephine
McKee Green (daughter of Mother’s first cousin, Ellen McKee, who married her cousin
David McKee, of Indiana) written from the George Washington University School of Med¬
icine, Dept, of Pathology, Washington, D. C., where she was, at that time, an assistant
in the Library, gives what Dunlap information I have.

She wrote that Robert Dunlap’s daughter Ann married David McKee, son of John
McKee, “the Pioneer”; and that this David and Ann McKee were the parents of Miriam
McKee who married James Wilson Claggett and became, with him, the parents of
Zerilda Jane Claggett Hutchison, our grandmother Hutchison. This makes our grand¬
mother Hutchison the daughter of Miriam McKee; granddaughter of Ann Dunlap McKee;
and great-granddaughter of Robert Dunlap; who thus, becomes your own three -greats -
grandfather Dunlap.

If the above Robert Dunlap is the one first named on the Rev. J. Arthur’s paper you
enclosed, you have, also, a four -greats -grandfather Alexander Dunlap, and a five -greats -
grandfather, McFarlane (first name not given.)

One item given in Josie Mckee’s letter above may be of real service to Mr. Hanna:
i.e. that in 1938 she visited the registrar, a Miss Butler, of Western College at Oxford,
Ohio, to see the old family Bible of David and Ann Dunlap McKee, which she was sure
would always be well cared for as Miss Butler was descended through Margaret McKee
McMurtry, a sister of Miriam McKee Claggett. If Mr. Hanna has not already done so,
he should, doubtless, see this Bible. Josie called it a “wonderful treat” to see it.

I have corrected Mr. Hanna’s spelling of Grandmother Hutchison’s first name, and
marked out the “Harrodsburg” after Father’s name. I know he never lived in Harrods-
burg. I believe Grandfather Gordon lived at Pinckard in Jessamine County at the time
of Father’s marriage, August 27, 1873, but am not sure; it might have been Midway,
Kentucky, where he taught for a time.

A distant cousin of ours, descended from Robert Wilson, a Miss Mattie R. Davis,

230 Arlington Avenue, Lexington, Kentucky, is much interested in genealogy, and may

329

be able to give more dates than I can. I have a copy of the records in the Alexander
Hutchison Family Bible.

Miriam McKee Claggett was a daughter of Ann Dunlap and David McKee, who was a
son of John McKee, “the Pioneer.” Miriam McKee married James Wilson Claggett,
Ninian Claggett and Euphron Wilson, who was a sister to James Wilson, a signer of the
Declaration of Independence, a writer of the Constitution of the U. S., and a Justice of
the U. S. Supreme Court at its creation; born September 14, 1742; died August 28, 1798
at Edenton, North Carolina. Ninian and Euphron came from Maryland to Fayette County,
Kentucky, locating near Athens.

Miriam McKee and James Wilson Claggett moved to Elkton, Tood County, Kentucky,
and reared the following children: Wilson, who married Mary Robinson near Green¬
ville, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, and died there during the Civil War, leaving de¬
scendants in that vicinity; Ann Eliza, who married Thomas H. White near Elkton;

Zerilda Jane, who married Alexander McPheeters Hutchison of Woodford County, Ken¬
tucky, October 6, 1847; John; James; both of whom I have no data; Mary Euphron, who
married a Hobson and moved to Vincennes, Indiana; Lutitia McKee, who married a
Malin and moved to Illinois or Indiana; David McKee, who became a Major on the North¬
ern side in the Civil War, winning a gold -handled sword for gallantry— “Uncle Mac’s*
sword was not fully appreciated by his father’s family because, as they said “it was on
the wrong side”—; Sarah Ellen who married William Rice, a teacher of Southern Ken¬
tucky, brother of the famous preacher, David Rice; Marian, who married Robert
McCord of Vincennes, Indiana; and Henry, whose descendents live near Elkton and
Hopkinsville, Kentucky.

The father of the large family above, James Wilson Clagget, having become blind
in his later years moved, with his wife Miriam McKee, to the home of their daughter,
Zerilda, “Hillside” in Woodford County, Kentucky, where he died December 23, 1870.

His body rests in the Hutchison Family graveyard at “Hillside.” He was born January
7. 1890. His wife died later while visiting her daughter, Lee Mahin, and was buried
there. I am sending, with this, a copy of the records on the stones in the Hutchison
Family graveyard at “Hillside”, and also a copy of the records in the Hutchison Family
Bible.

The children of Alex, and Zerilda Hutchison are all dead, as are all the children-in-
law. The eldest, Emma A., married her schoolmate (after his Civil War service as a

330

boy -soldier) in the High School at Pinckard, Kentucky, conducted by Mr. and Mrs.

Thomas B. Gordon, later her parents -inlaw. From his father’s school at Pinckard,
this soldier boy despite post-war conditions for all Southern people, with not “bonus” or
«G. I. bill”, secured the degree of M. D. from the Medical school of the University of
Louisville, Kentucky and became a well-known physician Dr. John Gilbert Gordon of
Walnut Hill, near Lexington, Kentucky. Their only child, Thomas Hutchison Gordon was
a successful farmer of Mercer County near Harrodsburg, Kentucky. His wife, three
children, 4 children-in-law; four grandchildren, one grandson-in-law, and one great-
granddaughter survive him. All live in or near Harrodsburg, Kentucky.

The next child of Alexander and Zerilda Jane Hutchison, Alice Belle, also married
her schoolmate in the same school. Like his 15 months older brother, a confederate
veteran, Angus Neal Gordon made his way from Pinckard to Washington College, Lex-
inton, Virginia, to which General Lee was soon to add his illustrious name. He stayed
there six years without coming home; sometimes tutoring in a private family for his
board, sometimes sharing in a students’ group -housekeeping club; one whole winter term,
dropping out of college to take charge of a small local school. He got his A. B. in 1873
as valedictorian of his class, winning at the same time the orators’ heavy gold medal of
the Graham-Lee Literary Society. The same year, having secured a school at Shelby -
ville, Kentucky, he consummated at “Hillside” the long engagement that had extended
since “Pinckard® days. The gold medal was his pre-nuptial gift to his bride, which,
many years after their own golden wedding and his death, May 5, 1925, she made a
pre -nuptial gift to their eldest granddaughter, Catherine Gordon Dixon, of Bartlesville,
Oklahoma, daughter of their lawyer -son, Robert Lee Gordon, vice-president and counsel
of the Indian Territory Illuminating Oil Co. of Bartlesville. A. N. Gordon made the last
payment on money borrowed for his education after his marriage. Alice Belle Hutchison
Gordon was the kind of wife and mother whose family rise up and call blessed. She
reared nine children to maturity, and helped her husband make a school home at
Alleghan Academy near Lexington, Kentucky, for as many as 20 boarding pupils at a
time. Before going to “Alleghan”, he had been adjunct professor of mathematics at
Central View at Richmond, Kentucky, later merged with Centre College at Danville,
Kentucky, and principal of Bethel Academy at Nicholasville, Kentucky. Later, he took
his private school, always an English and Classical College -Preparatory School for boys,
into Lexington, Kentucky at 180 East Maxwell Street then to Glen Airy near Frankfort,

331

then back to 180 E. Maxwell Street, Lexington; from which they retired to a well-earned
final home in Florida in September, 1915. Alice Belle Hutchison Gordon celebrated her
98th birthday in her home church in Archer on October 2, 1949 and passed away 7 weeks
later, to the day, on the early morning of November 21, 1949. A preacher -son, Rev.
Angus N. Gordon, D. D., pastor Bowling Green, Kentucky Presbyterian Church, and five
daughters survive her, as well as six grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren.

Alexander and Zerilda Jane Hutchison’s son, Andrew James, married Catherine
Hieatt of Versailles, Kentucky. He was a farmer at Warrensburg, Missouri, where one
daughter survives them. Their second son, George Alexander Calvin Hutchison, married
Eugenia Barkley of South Elkjorn near Lexington. They are survived by George Barkley
Hutchison, Washington D. C.; Frank Young Hutchison, Houston, Texas; and Lucille H.
Callahan of LaGrange near Louisville, Kentucky. After the death of his first wife,

George Alexander Calvin Hutchison married Rose Jelf of Nicholasville, now deceased,
where he was for many years a druggist. (I neglected to say above that besides his one
daughter, Alice Belle Hutchison of Warrensburg, Mo., Andrew James Hutchison is
survived by one grandson, John Andrew Webb, who is employed all over the country in
the U. S. Geodetic Survey; and by one great-grandson, Andrew Cleveland Webb.) George
Barkley Hutchison, a graduate pharmacist, is doing administrative work in the National
Public Health Service. His son, George Barkley Hutchison, Jr. is a graduate physician
doing research work in Boston. Besides him, George Alexander Calvin Hutchison has
six other grandchildren, all married, and five great-grandchildren.

Marian Ella Lee Hutchison and her husband, C. M. Holloway, moved to Florida in the
early 1900s, and are buried near their home at Micanopy. Their eldest son, Charles
Alexander Holloway, was connected for many years with the Florida State Board of
Health as a Sanitary Inspector of Marion County. He died at his home in Ocala, May 18,
1952, and is buried there. He is survived by his second wife, two sons, two daughters,
all married except the eldest, Charles Alexander Holloway, Jr., and by five or six
granchildren.

The second child of Marian Ella Lee Hutchison Holloway, Grace McCallie, married
Harvey A. Bullock, and moved to El Paso, Texas. They have three children living, Betty,
unmarried, William, and Mary Lee. The last two are married and live in California.

The Bullocks have at least two grandchildren, probably more.

The third child of Marian Ella Lee Hutchison Holloway, a son, George Hutchison

332

Holloway, is somewhere in Indiana and unmarried.

The fourth, Marian, married Howard C. Roller, and lives in Cincinnati. Her children
are Howard C., Jr. and Margaret Lee, who is married, but I do not know the name, or
whether there are children.

The fifth child of Marian Ella Lee Hutchison Holloway is a daughter, Jane Hutchison.
She became, by her own endeavors, a graduate nurse; but, later, married Charles R.
Jones of Crawfordsville, Indiana where they live, or, possibly, in Indianapolis.

This finishes the list of the five children of Zerilda Jane Claggett and her husband,
Alexander McPheeters Hutchison, with their descendents so far as the writer knows.

It should be stated here that there is a fully accepted tradition in the Alexander
McPheeters Hutchison and Zerilda Jane Clagget Hutchison family that Zerilda’s father,
James Wilson Claggett, was named by his mother, Euphron Wilson Claggett, for her
distinguished brother, the signer of the Declaration of Independence. Ninnian and
Euphron Claggett evidently came to Kentucky very early as there is record of their
buying land from Daniel Boone, Sr. in 1894, of land granted Daniel Boone in 1785.
Ninnian Claggett was the son of William Thomas Claggett, the first Episcopal Bishop of
Maryland.

We have a copy of Ninnian’ s will, from “Will Book A. page 275 of Fayette County
Kentucky Court Records”. It was made, or dated, July 28, 1805, evidently only a short
time before his death. It was probated in Fayette County, October Court, 1805.

Duphron Wilson Claggett was living in 1828. She is believed to have died at the home
of the Gays in Woodford County, and may be buried at Pisgah or in a family burying
ground.

The above is due to research made by Cousin Mattie R. Davis, 230 Arlington Avenue,
Lexington, Kentucky.

APPENDIX F

Letter of Thomas Dunlap of Philadelphia now residing in Lexington, Virginia to Mrs.
Tate Sterrett of Bell’s Valley, Virginia, June 17, 1896
Madam:

I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 17th. inst., June, 1896. I am
glad to furnish any information in my power for any friend of our mutual friend, Mrs.
Mary Dunlap, for whom and her family, my Mrs. Dunlap and I both, have the highest
admiration and respect. I regret that I do not know more about the early history of the
Dunlap family in Scotland, but can give you some and obtain more for you, I hope.

First, the Dunlaps and Dunlops are two distinct families in no way related.*

The Dunlap family are Highlanders from time immemorial, members of the Clan
Campbell, followers of their chief, Rob Roy, and rendering fealty to him and his suc¬
cessors, “The McCallum More” of the clan, whose head is, and has been for years,
the “Duke of Argyle” of whose immediate family, our branch of the Dunlap family claims
to be, and I am informed, rightly, the lineal and legitimate descendants and heirs to the
title, now occupied and enjoyed by another branch of the same.**

The Dunlops are Lowlander people, principally from Midlothian and the neighbor¬
hood of Glasgow and the Clyde. They were agriculturists of note for that country and
celebrated for the production of a celebrated cheese, know as the “Dunlop Cheese”.

Our progenitors were, I fear, rather celebrated for border raids and raising cattle,
for hard knocks and hatred to their Sassenach or British neighbors, to whom they were,
we are told, “holy terrors” to use the present vernacular.

Second, what I know about our branch of the Dunlap family, which I believe to have
been that from which my Grandfather and the Dunlap brothers to which Miss Kerr’s
interesting letter refers, originated, is as follows:

According to Rev. J. Arthur Hanna Dunlop and Dunlap are one and same; they are not two
distinct families.

** The Dunlap Family is “Highland” only as it served as a Sept of the Campbells of Argyll not
by birth except intermarriage.

336

At the time of the Stuarts, the Argyleshire branch of the family, and who were then
the Duke of Argyle and family, followed the fortunes of that monarch, and were at¬
tained of treason in consequence, with result that another and the present branch of
the family, members of the Clan Campbell, and cousins, were awarded the title from
their submission to Great Britain, and as above stated, have since held it. The original
Dunlaps either escaped to Ireland, and from thence to America, or were in hiding in
Scotland until they came to America, which, I am informed, they did just at the begin¬
ning of the Revolution, and that of them there were five brothers, which corresponds
with your account.

My Grandfather was Dr. James Dunlap, for many years a physician of long practice
in Philadelphia, especially in the latter portion of his life, during the Yellow Fever
epidemic of 1793. He married Juliana Comley and had a large family of sons and
daughters, the youngest of whom, Thomas Dunlap my father, was born in the Yellow
Fever summer. Dr. James Dunlap was cotemporary with Dr. Physic, the elder Wood,
Dr. Francis of New York, and physicians of that period. His brothers went to what was
called West and South, and probably were those you named, although I certainly do not
know it. I do know there is a strong family resemblance in all their descendants, es¬
pecially in the children of Mrs. Mary Dunlap with our branch-Miss Maud being the
image of a sister of mine, now deceased, and the family resemblance I see in some of
the Kerr’s Creek Dunlaps as well as in Mrs. Mary Dunlap’s husband’s portrait.

This is to be noted, as this family is said to have always preserved its facial re¬
semblance, the cousins of the present Duke of Argyle branch, the Marquis of Lome,
Walter Campbell his brother, and other members of the family having remarked it when
here.

It is understood that those cousins are Campbells, taking that name from the tribe
or clan, when the Dunlaps were attained of treason for their fidelity to the House of
Stuart.

Of the brothers who went South and West I never knew anything except my Father’s
saying such was the case. Of our branch, vis. that which grew up in Georgia, some of
the sons went to Texas, and one particulary, afterwards General Dunlap was engaged
with Gen. Sam Houston in the revolution which resulted in the independence of Texas
and its annexation to the U. States. This General Dunlap was at my Father’s house in
Philadelphia about 1842 or 1843, as well as I can remember, and then went into all

337

family genealogy, but as I was somewhat younger then than now, I cannot recall it.

My Father had the Argyle Coat of Arms always in use, and proved by the College of
Hereldy in Great Britain his right to the same. It consists of a galley or “lymphed” on
the shield, surmounted by a scroll with a Boar’s Head and the motto, No obliviscaris”,
which has been variously construed to mean, never to forget the deeds of your ances¬
tors, never to forget the injury, and never to forget your friends, and may I presume,
be taken at will as meaning either. I will endeavor to find and send you a print of this
Coat of Arms and Crest, but for myself am prouder of the fact of American Citizen¬
ship than of Scotish Nobility, and that my ancestors fought in every war of the U. S.
from the Revolution down, and that my Father and myself have kept up the custom. I
must ask your pardon for my discursiveness, but in conclusion would say that I believe
the Dunlaps of Argyleshire are all one family and rightly heirs of the Dukedom - that
the five or six brothers emigrated about the same time and are those you refer to and
my Grandfather; and I intend to investigate further and endeavor to get from one of my
sisters further information from family records, which I will transmit when received.

I like your desire to get all the genealogical history for your child that is possible,
and believe if every one would do this, we would have valuable knowledge which is now
lost, and as “blood is surely thicker than water”, I take great interest in all my
“kinfolk”.

I would be very much obliged for any further information Miss Kerr may possess,
and will endeavor to look up the history of the Kerr family in Scotland further.

With my compliments to your good husband, whom I have the pleasure of knowing,
and with the hope in which Mrs. Dunlap joins me, that when you next come to Lexington,
you will favor us with a call. I am, Madam,

Very respectfully yours,

Thos. Dunlap

APPENDIX G

THE VALLEY OF VIRGINIA

Leonard C. Helderman, Ph.D., George Washington Patron of Learning. New York: The
Century Company, 1932. 187 pp.

Pp. 96-105.

A Scotch traveller once wrote during his visit to Virginia in 1857:

“I could have fancied myself in Scotland. The hills, the river ((James)), the
people, the kirk ... It is strange to find in Virginia united, and yet distinct, thet-
woraces that in old times strove together in our island.”

“The real history of the Valley opens with the migration of the Scotch-Irish. This
virile and aggressive race, fleeing from economic and religious conditions in Ulster,
sought a friendlier environment in America. Like their brethren in distress, the “poor
palatines” of the Rhineland, they entered at Philadelphia, sought the back counties of
Pennsylvania, and gradually pushed down the Shenandoah Valley, whose rolling slopes
reminded them of the heathered hills of Scotland.

“From 1734, when the enterprising Robert Harper opened his ferry over the
Potomac at the Maryland gateway, the Scotch-Irish movement into the Valley continued,
until a half-century later men were talking of a James River Company to bring tide¬
water and back country into contact. Deep in the Valley in 1777 they “laid off a town
...thirteen hundred feet in length and nine hundred in width,” and in the flush of
Revolutionary ardour called in Lexington, after the New England village whose fame
was ringing throughout the land.

“This sturdy people “quick to think, strong to act, and above all filled with the spirit
of enterprise* made ideal frontiersmen in the Valley and “Founders of States in the
more distant wilderness beyond.” Wherever they went they fought the Indian on the
frontier and smote the “evil doer” among them, with the same quick, nervous energy
of a New England puritan. As untamed by a century of Ulster as the Orangemen of
North Ireland remain to this day, they had something of the stern spirit of those Scots
who swore a covenant in the earlier days - something of the unbending character of
((Rev.)) John Knox who looked upon the face of no man in fear.

339

What more natural than that this tough race should case trouble for those who
defended things as they were? They grumbled at quit-rents, showed small respect
for the gold lace of Philadelphia gentlemen; and indeed, as an agent of William Penn
complained, caused him ten times as much trouble as any other people. Even the great
proprietor himself spoke of the unknowns who came to America and “with an excess of
vanity think nothing taller than themselves but the trees.” For this reason the historian
of the American frontier has said that “the quailty of temper which caused trouble for
the proprietors, made also for independence and courage... and in their political activity
they showed the result of long training in self-ruling Churches where the Presbyterian
order created institutions of representative government.”

American democracy and the American character were being born in the back country
of the American Colonies. Small wonder, the, that they should be so forward in border
warfare and the movement for independence. Small wonder that Andrew Lewis of Au¬
gusta should command at Point Pleasant on the far Ohio, and that the raw levies of
Campbell and McDowell should appear in force at King’s Mountain and thrust Colonel
Ferguson headlong from that high place whence he had boasted “all the rebels out of
hell” could not drive him.

The rugged simplicity of small farmers was the dominant note in this Valley cul¬
ture, rather than the cavalier elegance of broad plantations fringing the lower James.
Here that plain Jacksonian Democrat Sam Houston was born, to rise in later years
from an Indian chief to the presidency of a republic. Here Cyrus ((Field)) McCormick
cultivated his hills while with the ingenuity of a Connecticut Yankee he experimented on
a reaper to revolutionize agriculture the world around. Slavery even in its palmiest
day was never the peculiar institution of the Valley, nor was its social and economic
life ever dominated by the hauteur of cotton magnate and plantation system. This was
the Cohee section of Virginia, whose tone of life contrasted so sharply with Tuckahoe
or old Virginia beyond the mountains - a contrast which struck an observant traveller
as late as the summer of 1816.

James K. Paulding, literary associate of Wahington Irving, expressed the differance
as a debate. The cohee good wife looked askance at the “fine lady of the Tuckahoe,
because ... my lady gives herself airs and wears such mighty fine clothes when she
goes to the Springs.” The elegant lady of the plantation, on the other hand, looked with
fine scorn at the plain good wife “industriously mending a pair of breeches,” and

340

marveled at the sight of “her daughter pulling flax, or weaving, or turning a great
spinning wheel.* The farmer and the squire had hot words. The farmer thought that
tide-water had too many political privileges, that the Valley should be better represent¬
ed in the legislature, and that a man was a man for a’ that. The squire was of the opin¬
ion that property, position, and pedigree rather than numbers should count, and that
withal the people of the Valley were a set of “ignorant blockheads.”

It was a debate which reverberated in the Valley and on the western border until
King Numbers won over King Property and John Letcher of Lexington rose from a
carpenter’s bench to a governor’s mansion. It was a part, also, of the grand debate of
American politics which brough Andrew Jackson to the White House and a Harvard
doctorate and caused Daniel Webster to apologise for not being born in a log cabin.

For these reasons historians have found the origins of American democracy in the up-
country.

In this Valley simplicity, however, some observers saw, or thought they saw, a
contracted spirit something akin to the sour austerity of the Genevan Calvin. Men had
long before observed that the Scots were solemn persons, and their dour tempers had
excited the lively satire of Restoration bards, the gibes of Cavaliers, and the heavy
wit of Dr. Johnson. The pedantic James Stuart remembered John Knox and angrily re¬
called “how they used the poor lady my mother ... and how they dealt with me in my
minority.” But this sapient monarch also observed, without intending to be compli¬
mentary, that a Scotch presbytery “agreeth as well with monarchy as God with the
devil.” And Charles Stuart, the second of the name, remembered their contempt for
his philandering and was wont to declare that “presbyterianism was not a religion for
gentleman.”

Samuel McDowell, of pure Scotch-Irish descent, the veteran of many a war and con¬
vention and charter member of the board of Liberty Hall, grew to manhood in the
Valley. After the Revolution he moved with the flow of people over the Wilderness
Road toward another Lexington, where horses had already become a passion, and amid
the gayer tempo of the Kentucky Blue-Grass Region he saw through a different glass.

He remembered the Valley folks as persons of exaggerated piety, Scotch clannishness,
and a tendency to frown on “innocent amusements.”

Another representative of the Blue-Grass, John J. Crittenden, had a warm con¬
troversy in the dining-hall of Washington Academy and found that conduct was em¬
phasized as well as learning. Already suspected of fighting a duel and known to have

341

thrown a biscuit at the steward, he ate during the blessing and the shocked steward
threatened to slap his face. This young man, with his Kentucky blood now thoroughly
aroused, seized “two knives from the table ((and)) went toward him in a menacing man¬
ner,” vowing that he had rather be “expelled from the Academy, and from heaven than
submit.” But he was promptly placed on trial before a stern Scotch-Irish board una¬
ware of his future greatness. His defence that had the biscuit been edible it could not
have harmed the steward showed a great future as a lawyer. It did not impress his
judges, however, and, he was forthwith expelled and finished his education in the more
genial enviroment of William and Mary.

Many years later a lowland Virginian saw the Scotch dourness but no Irish vivacity.
To him the cedars of Lexington were “as unsentimental as mathematics,” the very
streets looked hard, and the grim portals of the Church were “as cold as a dog’s nose.”
Inside houses he sat on uncomfortable but precious antiques. From the walls of tomb¬
like rooms “solemn engravings of Oliver Cromwell, Stonewall Jackson, and the Rock
of Ages” stared sternly at him.

((Thomas)) Woodrow Wilson once told his secretary Joseph Tumulty that he had two
sides to his nature - the Scotch with its coldness, its tenacity, and its selfrighteous
exlusiveness; and the Irish with its warm generosity and its passionate sympathy for
distress. ((Actually, of course, there is no Irish in the Scotch-Irish.)) The world
which heard him talk of covenants and saw the unbending Scotchman fight for a new
freedom at Washington and a new diplomacy at Paris, seldom saw the limerick- making
Irishman quickened into tears at the sight of human misery or the touch of human
sympathy. And so it was, no doubt, with his kinsmen of the Valley. These “bold and
indigent strangers from Ireland” have always had “ a passion for justice.” However
prosaic they may have been in the creative arts, they have stood out in the fields of
public affairs.”

DUNLAP

The Dunlaps from northern Ireland came to A. early in 18C. One John Dunlap was
Capt. of 1st Troop of Philadelphia Horse. He started the first daily paper in America,
“Pennsy Packett”. He was a Printer by trade and served as Printer to the Convention
in 1774 and was the first to print the Declaration of Independence. He was also printer
to first Congress. He was born in Strabane, Ireland— “Men of Progress” (Indiana) by
Will Cumback & J. B. Maynard, 1899 Publ. by Indianapolis Sentinel.

Alexander Dunlap M.A. (often meant clerical Dignity but not found as Presby. minister
in Ulster) signed petition to Gov. Shure of N. E. in 1718 (322 signers) agreeing to trans¬
port self to excellent and renouned Plantation upon obtaining from his Excellency
suitable encouragement. Petition brought by Boyd MacFarlane from Worcester. They
settled in Coleran, near Worcester in 1738.

Inc., Vol. XIX, October, 1925, No. 4. pp. 553-559.

Dunlop -Dunlap Arms - Argent, an eagle with two heads displayed gyles.

Crest - A dagger in a dexter hand erect.

Motton - Merito. (Deservedly).

The surname Dunlop (Dunlap) originated in the estate of Dunlop in Aryshire, Scotland,
which is still in the possession of the family.

The first on record is Dom. Gubielmus de Dunlop, who sat on an inquest to settle a
dispute between Dom. Godfredus de Ross and the borough of Irvine, in the year of 1260.
In 1296, Neil Fitz Robert de Dunlop signed the Ragman Roll. James Dunlop was in
possession of Dunlop in 1351. He was succeeded by John de Dunlop who had a charter
from Hugh de Blair, dated 1407. From Alexander Dunlop, in the reigns of James I and
II of Scotland, the succession is traced to the nineteenth century. James and Alexander
are the usual names of the possessors of the estate.

Alexander Dunlop was among the Scots of the Plantation of Ulster, and was living in
County Down in 1653, and Adam and Alexander Delap, a common variation of Dunlop,
were living in County Antrim at the same date. Dunlop, Delap, Dulap, and Dunlap, all
of the same Scotch family, are used almost interchangeably in the early New England
records, as well as the ancient archives of Scotland and Ireland, where many of the
Scotch branches had removed.

(I) “William Dunlap of Ireland and Sarah Boon late of Great Britain, now in Boston,
married Jan. 1, 1813," says the Boston, Massachusetts, records, he being one of the
very earliest of the Ulster emigrants to the America colonies. He married (second)
as William Delpa, Jane Tompson, September 15, 1726. Hugh Delap, who died in Dedham
in October, 1745, aged twenty- seven, may be a son of the first marriage and Brice
(or Price) Dunlap, who married at Boston, August 5, 1745, is very probably a son.
Children:

1. William, married, Jan. 1, 1740, Rose Jemmerson.

347

2. George of whom forward.

(II) George Dunlap (also given Dunlop, Delap and Dunlap) from Roxbury, 1775-79,
appears on the Boston records furnished by the ministers: “George Dunlap (Delap) and
Agnes Carr, married by the Reverend Thomas Prince, April 18, 1745. George Dunlop
(Delapp) and Jean (intention, Jane) Harris, of Milton, married, April 17, 1757.”

He had Ann, of whom forward.

(in) Ann Dunlap, daughter of George and Agnes (Carr) Dunlap, was born in Boston,
October 12, 1748, and died August 4, 1821. She married, April 28, 1769, at Boston,
Nathaniel Bradlee.

(A letter written by Julian Anton Hanna to his son, Rev. J. Arthur Hanna, on his
thirtieth birthday, November 18, 1955.)

Huttonsville, West Va.
November 18 th, 1955

Dear Art:

The letter will probably arrive a day late but better late than never.
Well, Congratulations on your Thirteth Birthday; seems quite a spell
since the day your were born on a cold snowy day in Marietta in 1925,
tis true that, time waits on no man. As I now meditate and review the
past, it was a great event to us, first the marriage, thence the First
Born, a choice which was granted and we were thankfully due. Years
have sped by and may we say with a heartily frame of mind, they were
all good years and enjoyed by our happy family, there crept in some
tension, some sorrow, loss of loved ones, but the good deeds far super -
ceeded any depression, for which we are thankful. So beyond doubt,

The All Power, has provided the way through faithful vision and I trust
the future will contain more and more good deeds from a good world
for ages to come.

Regardless of circumstances, may I send much love and affection to
you and your work and I hope all as well as myself are equally proud.

Oft times I have wondered why your good Mother couldn’t have stayed
with us and been a life witness as she had planned your life that mat-
terialized, but as God has ruled she shall view all in His spiritual way
without our companionship, and it is well we shouldn’t interfere with
biased thoughts. But be joyful and thankful.

May your health be such that you always can continue.

Yours most affectionately

APPENDIX N
DUNLAP

Notes from “A History of Monroe County, West Virginia,” by Oren F. Morton, B. Lit.
Staunton: McClure Company, Inc., 1916. 510 pp.

p. 9. South of the sources of Dunlap Creek, Peters Mountain takes the place left
vacant by the breaking down of the Alleghany Front.

p. 10. Potts Creek precinct is drained by the upper course of Potts Creek, a tribu¬
tary of Jackson’s River. North of the series of saddles running westward from Peters
Mountain are Cove and Back creeks and Sweet Springs Run, all which unite to form
Dunlap Creek, another tributary of the same river.

p. 18. In many localities in Monroe arrowheads and stone implements are numerously
found. There was a flint quarry at the mouth of Stinking Lick and another a few miles
east of Peterstown. On the Dunlap farm near the mouth of Hans Creek was once a
burial mound. It was about 60 feet across and contained many relics. Among these
were sheets of mica that seem to have been used to cover the faces of the dead. An
excavation in Union in 1889 for the foundation of the new M. E. Church revealled 14
skulls and at least one complete skeleton. With the bones were found such relics as
the Indians are accustomed to deposit in their graves. Many isolated graves have been
observed and some of these have been dug into. The Shawnee grave was customarily
lined with flat stone and covered with the same. Avove it was fashioned a mound of
earth and stone.

p. 28. The surveys (1774) along Indian Creek extend from the mouth nearly to the
source. The preference given to this locality was not accidental. From Covington all
the way to the mouth of this stream was an Indian trail, as good as the bridlepaths by
which the settlers came to the mouth of Dunlap. Another circumstance was that
Byrnside (James Byrnside, surveyor) had spread the news of this promised land among
his friends on the Cowpasture and Bull pasture

companies, was mortally wounded at the battle of Point Pleasant, 1774.

within reach were destroyed. He reconnoitered toward Sweet Spring, but at 4; A.M.,

upper course of Dunlap, reared his cabin about 1760 near the mineral spring,
p. 210. Dunlap Campbell a brother of T. S. Campbell - Red Sulphur Springs,
p. 215. Alexander Dunlap, was a citizen of Monroe who was authorised with others
to open subscription books in order to build a canal across the Alleghanies. This was
futile but ife shows a determination to secure a better commercial thoroughfare. A
more practical plan was the incorporation in 1817 of a turnpike company to build a
road from the mouth of Dunlap to the Great Falls of the Kanawha.

p. 216. The Newburn and Red Sulphur Turnpike was incorporated in 1836, not required

William Adair, Jr., and Thomas Fowler, or any three of them.

Mr. Morton in his work says: “In the public life of Monroe and in professional and

p. 300. ALEXANDER.

This family was the first to settle where the county seat was established. Owing
also to is intermarriages with other leading families of Monroe, the Alexander connex¬
ion has been very prominent in local annuals. James, Sr., who lived in Beverly Manor,
is mentioned there as early as 1746 and was a captain in the Old French war. James,
Jr., (1750-1814) visited this region before his settlement in 1773. He located on land
which he understood was to be conveyed by a man from Penna., but that personage
failed to appear. His first house was built on the hill just east of Union. The second
year he started for the Valley, and from the summit of a knob the couple saw their
cabin in flames. It was the year of the Dunmore war. The second house was build
on what became the main street of Union, and third *01d Hundred,” was low down on
the western slope of Green Hill. It was afterward the home of Matthew Alexander,
and was burned before 1907. The cemetery at the top of the knob is on land granted
by the pioneer. He was a member of the Greenbrier Court in 1784 and was sherriff
in 1793. Two years before Union was founded he took out a tavern license. His wife

377

was Isabella Erskine of Scottish descent.

Children:

1. Andrew Alexander (1773- ), married Phoebe Bracken in 1805.

2. Jane Alexander (1775- ), married Alexander Dunlap 1764-1841).

3. Catharine Alexander (1776- ), married Richard Shanklin.

4. Matthew Alexander (1777-1825), married Elisabeth J. Marshall.

5. Michael Alexander (1779-1857), married Mary Benson in 1801.

6. Henry Alexander (1782-1866), married Elisabeth Cathron, and second Frances
P. Burrell.

7. Elisabeth Alexander, married John Byrnside.

8. Mary Alexander, married Henley Chapman.

(Jane, Catharine, Henry, and Michael had each a James, and by will each of
these grandsons had a legacy of $50.00.)

Michael (1779-1857). M. May Benson in 1801.

John E. Alexander, married Jane Miller.

Michael C. Alexander, married Sarah MacFadden.

Rev. William M. Alexander, D.D. was born in Union in 1861. He was graduated
from the Washington and Lee University in 1884 and from Union Theological Seminary
in 1887. He was chosen Moderator of the 55th General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian Church and was well qualified for such a position.

p. 191. When Monroe County was organised it had nearly 4000 people and not even a
village. About a mile from the courthouse to the south James Byrnside had made a
home about 1762. In 1774, James Alexander, then a young man of 22, built a cabin a
little north of the town. He soon sold a part of his land to Michael Erskine. But
so late as 1799 there does not appear to have been any dwelling within the present
town limits except that of Alexander himself. That the farm became a town was solely
because it was chosen for the seat of government of the new county. On the second day
of the first term of the Monroe court, Alexander entered into a bond to convey one
acre as a courthouse lot and ten acres adjoining as a town site. The bond was made out
in favour of Williams Haynes, John Gray, John Byrnside, James Handley, and James
Alexander, acting as town trustees. The sherriff was then ordered to letout the build¬
ing of a log courthouse and a stone jail.

p. 193. In 1806 James Alexander deeded one acre for a courthouse lot and 25 acres
for a town site, so long as the ground should be used for such purposes.

From the records of Arthur Buell Davis of South Charleston, West Virginia, in a letter
to the author, dated July 11, 1956:

Jane Davis was married to John Ballard, August 22, 1855.

Medora Davis was married to Lewis Bays, December 14, 1848.

Sarah Davis was married to ((Franklin)) Francis Dunlap, May 4, 1859.

(His mother and her father were present; both were in their twenties.)

James W. (Uncle Jim) Davis and his cousin Sarah Means, ages 23 and 21, were
married March 9, 1860.

John Means (Cleaver John), youngest brother of Sarah Means Davis, married to
Martha Clark, September 16, 1849.

Annanias Means was married to Mary Jane Mallory, May 23, 1860.

Liona Davis was married to George Stevens in 1877.

Benjamin C. Davis, 24, and Ruth Craley, 19, were married August 24, 1865.

John R. Means (father unknown to me), 26, married, March 15, 1865, Caroline
Dunlap.

“Cousin Arthur: Here is an exact copy of deed made by the heirs of Thomas Davis
in 1877. Grandfather must have died or was killed in the fall of 1876 as the deed
was made in February, 1877. I am sending you the picture of your great-great-
grandmother, Sarah Means Davis, probably taken about 1875. It shows good except
for the breaks in the tintype it was made from.

I looked through the book you mentioned* and it shows only the Tom Davis who
owned the land at the mouth of Davis Creek in 1794. He was from Lincoln County,
Kentucky, as shown in the deed book and gave another Davis here in Charleston the
Power of Attorney to transact all his business here. He seemed to have had several
land grants from the governor of Virginia as stated in the power of attorney.

There is no record that will connect him up with Grandfather L. Thomas Davis
although it is possible he may have been related in some way. . . .

Respectfully yours,

(signed) A. B. Davis* **
